Here’s a short, quick pirate joke:

A pirate captain was awoken from his afternoon nap. “Captain!” cried the first mate, “two enemy ships are about to attack!”

The captain grabbed his sword and ordered the first mate, “Fetch me my hat with the tall feather.”

“But why that hat, sir?”

“So our shipmates will see me fighting bravely, with the feather visible from afar. It’ll inspire them to fight on!”

The pirates successfully repelled the enemy ships. But the very next day, the captain was again awoken:

“Captain, five enemy ships are about to attack!”

“Fetch me my red jacket.”

“But why that jacket, sir?”

“So our shipmates won’t notice the cuts to my arms and body. It’ll inspire them to fight on!”

Once again, the enemy ships were repelled. And once again, on the very next day, the captain was awoken from his nap:

“Captain, 15 enemy ships are about to attack! We’re surrounded!”

The captain gulped: “Fetch me… my brown pants.”

I see Walz quit his campaign for a third term. He knows the end is nigh.

If walz is eventually indicted, could he cooperate with prosecutors for a reduced charge/sentence?

He may know more than we think about how the entire scheme worked, and be in a position to nail others.

That's a mighty big "IF" - no one gets indicted these days -- all talk and no action
