#RNC was "explicitly told beforehand" both by #LeonardCohen's estate & company that licenses "Hallelujah" that it didn't have the right to use the song. Trump played it twice on the final night anyway. Trump takes what he wants. To hell with YOUR rights. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/…
#LeonardCohen's estate "surprised & dismayed" Trump played "Hallelujah" after he was denied the right to use it & brazenly attempted to "exploit in such an egregious manner" 1 of Cohen's "most important songs."

They're Canadian. No American's surprised & 40% aren't dismayed.
Anyone think I'm crazy to assume Trump played #LeonardCohen's "Hallelujah" (despite being denied the right to play it) because Kate McKinnon played it dressed as Hillary as the cold open for #SNL's 1st show after he won?

Anyone? Anyone?

Quick #GrammarGeek #Punctuation thread for a Saturday morning

The square bracket might be the most consequential #punctuation mark in US history. #Barr's [T] shows he OMITTED the opening portion of this KEY #Mueller sentence in his summary. Something came before "[T]he investigation did not establish..." #ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport thread
Why did #Barr shorten the most exculpatory quotation in his summary? It's not as if he had a tight word count. If #Mueller completely cleared Trump & others, why not include the full sentence?
And why did #Barr the quote the sentence in such a way that he needed to show he'd changed a lower-case to upper-case T? He could've written: The report states that "the investigation ... " and avoided the fussy [T].
