The Laptop, the Lawsuit, and the Loaded Allegations Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in broad daylight outside a Manhattan hotel, is asking for a laptop. Not to scroll Twitter, binge Netflix, or chat with anyone on the outside. Just a stripped-down, offline machine so he can review the mountain of evidence that's been handed over in his case — over 15,000 pages of documents and thousands of hours of video. And while that may sound like a pretty routine legal request, nothing about this case is routine. Mangione is facing murder charges in New York — but not just any kind of murder charge. He's being prosecuted under a rarely used state statute: murder as an act of terrorism. That's a legal label normally reserved for large-scale, politically motivated attacks — not often applied to an alleged single-victim, point-blank shooting. But prosecutors say Mangione's actions meet the definition, based on what he allegedly wrote, said, and engraved on bullets — yes, actual bullets — expressing rage at health insurance companies and what he saw as corporate corruption. This all unfolded in December, when Thompson, 50 years old and a father of two, was preparing to speak at a UnitedHealthcare investor conference in Manhattan. Moments before he was supposed to walk on stage, he was shot and killed just outside the venue. The murder sent shockwaves through the business world. In the days that followed, some health insurers scrambled to move meetings online and beef up security — because this didn't feel random. It felt like a statement. Mangione, 26, was arrested days later in Pennsylvania, where authorities say he was carrying weapons and ammunition. He's been in federal custody ever since. And it's not just New York charges he's facing. There's also a federal case — a big one — where the possibility of the death penalty is on the table. Plus, some gun charges still hanging in Pennsylvania. But back to that laptop. His legal team says there's simply too much material for him to sift through during the limited window of jailhouse visits. They want him to be able to work through it in his cell, solo — and under tight controls. No internet. No messaging. No distractions. Just the evidence, and a shot at building his defense. The Manhattan DA's office, which is leading the terrorism-murder case, hasn't commented publicly on the request. But prosecutors have raised concerns, pointing out that witnesses in the case have reportedly been threatened. They haven't said Mangione was behind those threats, but they're clearly worried about giving him any tool that could be misused. Mangione's lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, is pushing back hard, saying there's zero link between her client and any alleged threats. She says denying him access to the evidence is essentially tying one hand behind his back. And in a case this complex — involving charges that could put him in prison for life, or worse — that's not something they're willing to accept. Now, for all the horror of the killing itself, the public reaction has been unusually split. Some people have vilified Mangione as a terrorist, plain and simple. Others have gone the complete opposite direction, portraying him as a kind of anti-corporate vigilante. His courtroom appearances have even drawn small groups of supporters — people who see his alleged actions as some kind of misguided protest against the healthcare industry. Through his lawyers, Mangione has acknowledged those supporters and thanked them in a public statement. But he hasn't spoken directly to the charges in court. He's pleaded not guilty in New York, and so far, hasn't entered a plea on the federal charges or the state ones in Pennsylvania. The judge hasn't ruled on the laptop request yet. If it's approved, it'll be set up to run only the evidence files, nothing else. If it's denied, Mangione will have to rely on time-limited visits with his legal team to prep for one of the most serious and high-profile murder trials New York has seen in years. #BrianThompson #LuigiMangione #HealthcareMurderCase #TerrorismCharges Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

32: Subway Sanitation, Hochul's Reparation Folly, Albany's Criminal Coddling Democrats, NYU-Langone's Transgender Kerfuffle & Musk's Dangerous Takeover of Treasury's Payment Systems.Welcome to episode thirty-two of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) Stu's encounter with a young lady on the subway on her way to school clipping her nails but redeeming herself by not littering;2) Kathy Hochul's reparation committee and the outrageousness of making any such payments when slavery ended 150 years ago and the victims of which are long dead;3) Albany liberals refused to reform NY's criminal justice reform laws even when asked to do so by state district attorneys, including the pro-criminal Manhattan DA, fat Alvin Bragg.4) NYU-Langone Medical Center's refusal to perform gender-affirming surgery on minors due to Trump's executive order, which threatens to pull funding of providers performing such procedures; and5) Trump's dangerous decision to allow Elon Musk access to US Treasury payment systems could potentially jeopardize our national security and finances since Musk has no legal authority to assume this role or much oversight.Connect with David & Stu: • Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.The views expressed on air during David & Stu...

This Day in Legal History: Selma to Montgomery MarchOn March 21, 1965, Martin Luther King Jr. led the beginning of the third and final Selma to Montgomery march, a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement. The march was a direct response to the violent suppression of earlier demonstrations and the systemic disenfranchisement of Black voters in the Jim Crow South. Just weeks earlier, peaceful marchers had been brutally attacked by law enforcement on “Bloody Sunday,” as they attempted to cross Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge. That violence was broadcast nationwide, shocking the conscience of the country and mobilizing public support for voting rights legislation.The march that began on March 21 was federally sanctioned, with U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. ruling that the demonstrators had a constitutional right to march. Protected by federal troops and the National Guard, the marchers traveled 54 miles over five days, arriving at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery on March 25. Their numbers swelled to more than 25,000 by the time they reached the steps of the Capitol, where Dr. King delivered his famous "How Long, Not Long" speech, declaring that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”This sustained campaign of nonviolent resistance laid the moral and legal foundation for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law just five months later. The Act outlawed discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes and empowered federal oversight of voter registration in areas with histories of discrimination. The Selma marches highlighted the power of constitutional protest and judicial protection of civil rights, reinforcing the essential role of federal courts in safeguarding democratic participation.There was once a towering oak tree that stood firm in the wind and, under it, a reed that bent whenever the wind blew. A tyrant came to the land of the reed and oak, stomping his boot wherever he pleased. The oak resisted and was chopped down. The reed, seeing this, bent deeper–letting the boot press it into the mud day after day. Years passed and the reed, still alive, whispered to the boot: “See? I'm wise – I survived.”The boot replied, “You're not wise. You're soft. The oak was crushed because it defied us. But you? I step on you because I can.” Then the boot ground the reed into the dirt—without another thought. In a move that underscores the growing influence of executive power over traditionally independent legal institutions, President Trump rescinded an executive order targeting Paul Weiss after the firm pledged $40 million in pro bono services aligned with his administration's political goals. The announcement followed a private meeting with firm chairman Brad Karp and was accompanied by a sweeping commitment: no DEI policies, merit-based hiring, and representation of clients across the political spectrum—including those favored by the administration.Trump had previously sanctioned Paul Weiss by revoking its security clearance and threatening client contracts, citing the involvement of former partner Mark Pomerantz in the Manhattan DA's prosecution of Trump. That campaign against Paul Weiss, part of a broader effort targeting over 20 legal entities, seemed aimed at punishing firms perceived as adversarial while promoting loyalty through coercion.Karp's public gratitude for the order's withdrawal—and his reported acknowledgment of “wrongdoing” by Pomerantz—reads less like a principled resolution and more like a compelled confession by a simpering coward. Paul Weiss, a firm with deep Democratic ties, has now aligned itself with a president actively dismantling traditional norms around legal independence, seemingly in exchange for restored access and favor.This capitulation signals more than just a thaw in Trump's icy relationship with Big Law—it may represent a strategic blueprint: punish, pressure, and reward compliance – like with dogs. Legal experts and those with eyes to see warn that this redefinition of executive influence risks turning law firms into instruments of political will rather than defenders from it.Trump Rescinds Paul Weiss Order as Firm Pledges $40 Million (2)Frustrated by constant helicopter and seaplane noise, New York lawmakers are pushing for a first-of-its-kind "noise tax" targeting non-essential flights over the city. The proposal, led by state Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, would charge $50 per seat or $200 per flight for tourist and luxury air travel, while exempting essential services like medical transport, law enforcement, and construction. The revenue—expected to reach $10–15 million annually—would fund the state's Environmental Protection Fund, a move Gonzalez says is critical amid federal environmental funding cuts under President Trump.The bill reflects growing anger among residents across socio-economic lines who say aerial traffic disrupts daily life, especially in parks and along waterfronts. App-based services like Blade have exacerbated the issue by making chartered air travel more accessible to the wealthy, turning the skies into noisy corridors over neighborhoods and landmarks.Supporters, including advocacy group Stop the Chop NY/NJ, hope the tax discourages unnecessary flights by raising costs. However, the helicopter industry, represented by Vertical Aviation International, strongly opposes the bill. They argue that aviation regulation is solely under federal jurisdiction and warn the tax could trigger lawsuits and threaten jobs. The group says it has already taken steps to reduce noise but acknowledges that changing flight paths often just shifts the problem from one area to another.The legislation has passed the state Senate but faces challenges in the Assembly, where it stalled last year. With a budget deadline approaching on April 1, negotiations continue.New Yorkers Sick of Hovering Helicopters Prompt Bid to Tax NoiseA federal judge has ruled that the Social Security Administration (SSA) likely broke privacy laws by giving Elon Musk's anti-fraud team, known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), unrestricted access to sensitive personal data on millions of Americans. Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander of Maryland blocked any further data sharing and criticized the agency for turning over vast amounts of information without proper oversight. The judge described DGE's actions as a "fishing expedition" based more on suspicion than evidence, warning against overreach in the name of rooting out fraud.The data in question comes from the SSA's “Numident” database—its so-called “crown jewels”—which holds Social Security numbers, medical records, banking data, and more, some dating back to the 1930s. SSA officials admitted DGE staff had access to a “massive amount” of records, and privacy advocates said the team was embedded in the agency without vetting or training. The ruling requires DGE to delete any data it accessed.The decision is a significant setback for DGE and comes on the heels of another ruling limiting Musk's authority to shut down USAID, since he lacks Senate confirmation. President Trump's administration has defended DGE's mission, calling it a necessary tool to cut waste, but the court noted a disturbing lack of concern for citizen privacy. SSA's acting head, Leland Dudek, expressed confusion over the order's breadth and said it might require cutting off access for all SSA staff.Meanwhile, labor unions and advocacy groups involved in the lawsuit welcomed the decision, saying it defends Americans' data from unlawful government intrusion. DGE's aggressive tactics have drawn scrutiny across other agencies as well, with courts allowing access in some departments but blocking it in more sensitive areas like the Treasury.Judge stops Musk's team from 'unbridled access' to Social Security private data | ReutersChief Judge Diane Sykes of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will take senior status on October 1, creating the first appellate court vacancy during President Donald Trump's second term. Sykes, appointed by President George W. Bush and once considered a potential Supreme Court nominee under Trump, has served over three decades in both the Wisconsin and federal judiciary. Her transition to semi-retirement allows Trump to nominate a new full-time judge to the influential Chicago-based court, which currently holds a narrow 6–5 Republican-appointed majority.Sykes cited a desire to spend more time with family as her reason for stepping back from active service. She becomes the second federal appellate judge to announce senior status since Trump's return to office, following Judge Sandra Ikuta of the 9th Circuit. While four appellate vacancies remain from President Biden's term, Sykes's departure offers Trump his first direct opportunity to shape the 7th Circuit bench.Sykes has authored notable decisions, including one upholding Wisconsin's voter ID law and a dissent in a landmark 2017 case where the 7th Circuit ruled that LGBTQ employees are protected under Title VII. She criticized the majority in that case for overstepping legislative boundaries—a position later rejected by the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020).7th Circuit's Sykes to take senior status, creating vacancy for Trump | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach.This week, we close with a piece as enduring and elemental as the legal principles we often discuss: Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, specifically its iconic Prelude. Born on this day, March 21, 1685, Bach remains one of the foundational figures in Western music—a composer whose work balances mathematical precision with deep emotional resonance. Though he wrote for kings and churches, his music speaks to the full range of human experience, from joy to lament, duty to wonder.The Prelude to this suite is among the most recognizable solo cello pieces ever written, opening with a simple G major arpeggio that expands into a flowing, almost improvisational meditation. It's unaccompanied, yet complete—no orchestra, no embellishment, just one instrument revealing infinite depth. Written around 1717–1723 during Bach's time in Köthen, the suites were not published in his lifetime and lay in relative obscurity until cellist Pablo Casals rediscovered them in the 20th century.The piece carries a quiet authority that feels apt for reflection—whether on a ruling, a civil rights march, or a government in turmoil. It's structured, yes, but never rigid; expressive, but never indulgent. The Prelude doesn't declare or argue. It invites, it unfolds. It reminds us, like authority best wielded, that elegance lies in clarity and that restraint can be a form of power.This week, we let the steady resonance of Bach's Prelude accompany us out.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, the Prelude.

Our hosts, Yale Professor and former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa, along with former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti, discuss Trump's unconditional discharge sentencing, which is laden with complex implications for the American legal system. Subscribe to our Patreon here, where paid members will get access to exclusive portions of this show. patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia While a guilty verdict was reached, as Asha and Renato explain, the lack of concrete punishment opens a whole line of questions about the effectiveness and perception of American justice, especially considering the context of Trump's impending inauguration. We'll talk about why Judge Merchan chose unconditional discharge in the first place. We'll also explore the limits and responsibilities of judges, as well as the inconsistencies and biases in the system that arise when high-profile political figures are involved. Our hosts also explain how there is a delicate balance to ensuring justice is served timely and properly, without judges succumbing to external pressures. And we'll discuss how recent decisions like these threaten democratic norms and weaken public trust in the rule of law. As we continue on the tumultuous legal road ahead, this show seeks to empower our listeners and encourage folks to stay informed, stay involved, and stay vigilant. Be sure to join Asha and Renato next time for another hard look at what's happening at the intersection of politics and the American justice system. Learn more about your ad choices.

KFA shares her legal insights on Judge Merchan's decision in the Manhattan DA hush-money case, unpacking its impact on Trump's narrative and his status as a convicted felon. We discuss Trump's alarming promises to pardon January 6th rioters, his ongoing assaults on democratic norms, and the erosion of trust in institutions under his influence. As wildfires rage in Los Angeles, we also delve into how Trump's rhetoric continues to fuel division and mistrust, further destabilizing public discourse.

To get Trump sentenced on Friday, the Manhattan DA just reminded the Supreme Court in a new filing that Trump had already WAIVED HIS IMMUNITY ARGUMENT in a prior related federal case and that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to interfere with a run-of-the-mill criminal prosecution and the issue of sentencing. Michael Popok closely examines the new filing and predicts what the Court is likely to do in the next 24 hours about Friday's sentencing.

In the first episode of 2025, we dive into the legal mess that was the Manhattan DA's handling of Donald Trump's prosecution – and how it nearly slipped through the system's fingers. Tristan pulls back the curtain on the office politics, cold feet, and bureaucratic tap dancing that turned a clear-cut campaign finance case into a years-long waiting game. From Michael Cohen's explosive testimony to the eventual trial, he walks us through the behind-the-scenes story of how career prosecutors finally got their shot at justice, despite the higher-ups' best efforts to slow-walk the case into oblivion. Plus, Snell offers a fresh take on Jimmy Carter's environmental legacy and what it teaches us about political courage. It's an honest look at how the justice system works – or doesn't – when powerful figures are in the hot seat.
Trump really does not want to hear Judge Merchan chastise him for his convicted criminal conduct and contempt conduct on Friday during sentencing of his 34 felony count conviction, and so he has sued the Judge and the Manhattan DA to try to stop it. Michael Popok who practices in NY and these courts explains what the new lawsuit is and what may happen next with appellate court and Friday's sentencing.

[SEGMENT 1-1] A Very MAGA Christmas 1 As we gather around the Christmas tree this year, sipping eggnog and humming carols, let us reflect on what has been a truly remarkable year for the MAGA movement. It feels almost like a Christmas miracle—or perhaps a whole series of them—that Donald Trump has once again triumphed over the never-ending shenanigans of the Left. From Alvin Bragg's legal circus to Letitia James' wild goose chases, and from the media's collective meltdown to the implosion of Biden's administration, 2024 has been the gift that keeps on giving. So, let's unwrap this year's highlights and sprinkle in some holiday cheer.The Year Kicked Off With Indictment Mania Remember when Alvin Bragg thought he'd deliver the fatal blow to Trump's political career with his "stormy" case involving hush money? Bragg's legal theories were so bizarre they made Rube Goldberg machines look straightforward. While the Manhattan DA was busy turning legal gymnastics into performance art, Trump was busy rallying the nation. Even CNN's legal analysts had to sheepishly admit Bragg's case lacked the teeth they'd hoped for (source). And then there was Fani Willis down in Georgia, valiantly trying to turn a phone call into a criminal enterprise. Her case fizzled faster than a cheap sparkler on New Year's Eve, but not before exposing how desperate the Left had become to smear Trump. [SEGMENT 1-2] A Very MAGA ChristmasThe DOJ's 91 Indictments: All Smoke, No Fire Special Counsel Jack Smith may have managed to stack 91 indictments against Trump, but let's be honest: it was like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault. Nothing to see here, folks. Instead of taking Trump down, Smith inadvertently made him the political version of John Wick: the more they attacked, the stronger he became. Even MSNBC had to admit the indictments weren't landing as intended (source). Meanwhile, the DOJ itself unraveled under the weight of its hypocrisy. Hunter Biden's laptop? Ignored. Classified documents at Biden's Delaware home? Brushed under the rug. But try as they might, the American public saw through the double standards. Poll after poll revealed waning trust in the DOJ and FBI, culminating in Christopher Wray's resignation. A Christmas miracle indeed!Santa's New Elves: Trump's Appointments This year, Trump began assembling his administration-in-waiting, and oh, what a lineup it is! Each appointee is a present under the MAGA tree, guaranteed to send shivers down Leftist spines.Mike Davis (Attorney General): Known for his fierce takedowns of judicial overreach, Davis is set to bring the DOJ back in line. Leftists are already clutching their pearls at the thought of real accountability.Kash Patel (Director of National Intelligence): Patel's no-nonsense approach to exposing the Russia hoax makes him the perfect choice to clean house in the intelligence community.Ric Grenell (UN Ambassador): The Left loathes Grenell for his unapologetic America-first diplomacy. Expect him to give the UN a much-needed reality check.Each of these appointments signals a return to common sense and patriotism, and the Left's fear is palpable.The Media's Slow and Painful Demise Let's take a moment to appreciate the glorious collapse of mainstream media. CNN's ratings hit all-time lows, and even their golden girl Kaitlan Collins couldn't save the sinking ship. Joy Reid's MSNBC show? Barely hanging on. Meanwhile, The View's hosts spent more time screaming at each other than discussing coherent topics. The media's meltdown reached peak hilarity when they tried to spin Trump's victories as failures. When polls showed his approval climbing, they insisted the numbers were rigged. It was like watching someone try to argue that Santa doesn't exist while standing in a room full of presents.Holiday Ironies: Biden, Harris, and the “Ho Ho Ho” of Politics Biden's presidency has become the political equivalent of fruitcake—nobody wants it, but it just won't go away. His cognitive decline became impossible to ignore, even for the most loyal Democrats. And then there's Kamala Harris, the vice president who's been snubbed more times than a re-gifted sweater. The Bidens didn't even include her in their Christmas photo—a move so petty it deserves its own Hallmark movie.Kwanzaa and Kamala: A Tale of Two Fictions Speaking of Harris, her attempts to connect with African-American voters by celebrating Kwanzaa have been nothing short of cringe-inducing. Kwanzaa, much like her authenticity, feels manufactured. The internet had a field day mocking her forced enthusiasm, with memes comparing her to Michael Scott's infamous “Diversity Day” antics.Trump's Victory Lap And now, the pièce de résistance: Trump's victory. Despite the Left's relentless efforts to stop him, he's emerged stronger than ever. His rallies are packed, his base is energized, and his policies are resonating with everyday Americans. It's as if the Grinch tried to steal Christmas but ended up handing out gifts instead.Looking Ahead to 2025 As we head into the new year, the MAGA movement is more united than ever. Trump's second term promises to be a renaissance of American greatness, and the Left's tears will be the icing on the Christmas cookies. So here's to a Merry MAGA Christmas and a Happy New Year! May your holidays be filled with laughter, joy, and the sweet satisfaction of knowing that the best is yet to come. Cheers! [SEGMENT 1-3] A Very MAGA Christmas 3 – CR The Kevin Jackson Radio Show: Introduction "Welcome to The Kevin Jackson Radio Show, where we tackle the news the way Democrats handle the truth—recklessly, with a hint of holiday flair. Today, we're diving into the season's hottest topics: doom, debt, and Democrats throwing every trick in their playbook. Because nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like Leftist overreach and apocalyptic predictions. So Merry Xmas from the Democrats who gave us the gift of bigger government spending.Democrats Using the Entire Playbook First, the world will end if we can't fund the government. Forget that we play this little game every year, then we put it on steroids during a presidential transition. In this case, Democrats are jockeying to preserve what they want to call a great presidency, despite them nuking Old Joe into oblivion. Threatening shutdowns, twirling budget debates like a flaming baton. It's like Christmas caroling, but with fewer harmonies and more taxpayer extortion. Democrats claim the world will end if we don't raise the debt ceiling. Isn't it funny how we never run out of ways to spend money we don't have? And interestingly, we never seem to run out of money. Consider this: the national debt balloons yearly, no matter what legislation is passed—Balanced Budget Amendments, Pay-Go rules, you name it. The Democrats' new rallying cry? Save Christmas by saving government jobs. But let's be real. What happens when non-essential government employees are furloughed? Nothing. So, why do we have non-essential employees at all? Isn't “non-essential” just code for “we hired them because we can”? Trump sniffed out their treachery, because the stench of a Democrats can be smelled for miles by even the least sensitive nose. Trump had them rewrite the bill, shrinking it from 1500+ pages to 90ish. And Democrats declined to pass it. Who can blame them, as Trump's bill only contained the necessities and not all the pork Democrats are used to getting. But they do have a good reason to want the old bill: to save Christmas! The Budget Battle: Grinch Edition Now back to Hakeem Jeffries, who warns that without funding, Christmas will collapse. Flights will stop, chaos will ensue, and—wait for it—people will die in the streets. Someone hand this guy a script for It's a Wonderful Life. Funny thing is, every time we hit a budget crisis, the government shuts down briefly, everyone panics, and then… employees get paid anyway. So here's my question: why don't we trim the fat permanently? If a position is “non-essential,” it's probably also “non-taxpayer-worthy.” Let's give these people the greatest Christmas gift of all: a reason to update their résumés[SEGMENT 1-4] A Very MAGA Christmas 4 - Existential threats I looked up all the things that are existential threats. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/threats-civilization-survival-humanity-apocalypse Nuclear war Bioengineered pandemic Superintelligence (quantum computing) Nanotechnology Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

On this episode of Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor and Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. Akerman, also renowned for his role as Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, shares his expertise as we discuss Judge Merchan's decision to deny Trump's motion to dismiss in the Manhattan DA case. We delve into the implications of Trump's promise to pardon January 6th insurrectionists and the erosion of democratic guardrails under his authoritarian agenda. Akerman highlights Trump's ability to exploit the legal system, particularly leveraging recent Supreme Court rulings that could shield him from accountability. Together, we explore the chilling impact of Trump's litigation strategies and his disregard for constitutional norms.

In this episode of MissTrial, Dina Sayegh Doll joins Karen Friedman Agnifilo and Danya Perry to unpack the bombshell news of Matt Gaetz withdrawing as a candidate for Attorney General. What's next for him? Does this move bury the ethics report, and could he still take his seat in the 119th Congress?

Finally, they tackle the disturbing pattern of MAGA loyalists facing sexual misconduct allegations and the movement's ongoing fixation with women's bodies, bathrooms, and control.
