Law and Disorder: Special Stupidity Unit


Defense attorney: "Your Honor, while it is true that my client was present in the 7-11 on the night of the 24th and that he did point a loaded revolver at the cashier while requesting him to empty the cash register, I'd like to point out that -- as the surveillance video from the store has clearly shown -- my client did not ONCE say to the cashier that this was an armed robbery. He did not once use the words 'armed robbery', and therefore, Your Honor, he cannot be charged or convicted of the CRIME of armed robbery."

Judge: "Very well. Case dismissed!" 

This seems to be the way Trump followers think about the words "quid pro quo" or "abuse of power".
