(A Note from the Editors: Late last night, the investigatory team at BPoFD received what appears to be a leaked copy of the official itinerary for Hillary Clinton’s presidential inauguration ceremony. The encrypted document was pasted into an email from a since-deleted gmail account, under the subject heading “FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE.” After a long night (and morning) of debate, the BPoFD Editorial Board has decided to republish the itinerary below, first in the interest of radical transparency, second because the inauguration will never, ever happen. To think what might have been!)
