    I found that odd as well. I'd remove him completely - no doubt he'll have friends/associates on the Biden detail and with Trump doing what he's doing, And you don't want him training future agents. I don't know if there is any place for someone with direct professional ties to the preceding occupant of the WH. Let alone what this guy did regarding the Lafayette Park deal. Seriously, this is the oath agents take: "“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

    He must be fired. Someone who became a political operative cannot be allowed back.

    Wasn't Jefferson Davis smuggled out of Richmond at the end of the civil war disguised as a woman?

    That would be perfect.

    There's a pick and roll joke in there somewhere.

    No, that was a story perpetuated by Edwin Stanton. It was pouring the rain, and Davis did have his wife's shawl over his head, but he was in his own clothes. Stanton couldn't rest at being a possible Booth conspirator, so he had to play a hand in keeping that myth alive, too.

    It was in Georgia, too, as Davis et al. had been on the run for quite awhile.

    He's been the "golden goose" for your media company as well so why didn't your owner give you $2021 like Jeff Bezos did his staff?

    Give credit where credit is due.

    Heh. We're three months removed from bankruptcy and owned by a hedge fund.

    Hopefully somebody's keeping a down-to-the-second tick-tock of everything the traitors Stone, Manafort and Flynn have been saying and doing from the precise time of their pardons, because unless Fatfuck remembers to pardon them again on the morning of Jan. 20, they can be charged again for whatever they've done in the interim.
