exactly. and it wasn't even hard for them, since the damage is done.

I'm sure we can get eurorights.org to file an official protest letter
or something, and I'm positive that I can get at least one local news
website to run a story that mueller won't like. but all those will be
minor events. what's important is that someone (declan?) pick them up
and spin them into "international protest against mueller's
nomination".
