Obviously they are not going to advocate for their clients competitors.
More evidence of RICO violation. Less evidence the FBI cares.
Wonder how many reporters have been visited by goons..
You know goons, from the irs, fbi, cia, nsa, unions(various), or even SAG...
Intimidating or implying intimidation to their family, job, or them personally..
