IF Busfield is found guilty, I hope they hang him by his joystick. Sexual child abuse is an especially abhorrent crime.

Not to hijack my own thread 🧵 but both Law & Order and FBI are produced by Dick Wolf.

It makes me wonder how the FBI tv show will reflect the new reality of the Bondi-Kash DOJ-FBI

More of a rhetorical question because my guess is they will not. They did have an interesting episode a few weeks ago where an Elon Musk type was playing both sides..

Selling his high tech devices to both the FBI and the group they were trying to monitor.

Simon Ford was played by Josh Meyers brother of Seth Meyers.
