His pal Macri, in Argentina, got in trouble over the very same thing - although, of course, right-wing judges exonerated him (despite overwhelming evidence).

He was also in trouble for extensive warrantless surveillance of both friends and foes - especially friends.

Macri's cache of audio and video files (plus phone captures, courtesy of Isreal's Pegasus) is said to be so extensive, it's referred to as "Blockbuster video."

True to 3rd world form, he was exonerated over that too (pen-drives in evidence and all).

I'd bet dollars to donuts that, like Macri, Cheeto has a "Blockbuster video" collection of his own - and that's what he's actually panicking about.

the place I'd start investigating. Running a program such as this (where randomness is a design feature) twice and getting the same results could just be a (highly unlikely) fluke. But anything out of the norm still needs be checked out, right along with any other anomalies.
