Trump is a coward who is weaponizing his DOJ to fuel hate & intimidate opponents with baseless attacks like these, just like with Rep. McIver, Lisa Cook & Tish James. 161212268

Routine plant emissions cannot do this. And the definition of "proximity" introduces artifacts. Fitting log(rate) linearly in 1/d forces a sharp peak near the source that fades by about 20–25 km. 0112
