Oh please, stop with the QAnon level conspiracy nonsense. Most likely, he will be offered a plea like everybody that has been charged, including Winner and Manning. If not, he will have a chance to run PrisonLeaks, doing hard hitting pieces

>Something to keep in mind is most core apps (Maps, Gmail, Messages, etc) aren't baked into the Android OS and are updated with new features regularly throughout the year. Which is Google's weakness. Not only are the core apps

That is why Kip goes by his middle name now. He also moved from California to Washington. This was big news in SF Bay Area when it happened. It was FreeBSD's Hans Reiser moment. Another gem, Kip kicked one tenant in the chest while he
