Wha?! Fewer hugs coming! ((just kidding))
I had an interesting conversation with a scholar and gentlemen. Essentially after the equivalent of half work day of his time, I was asked to respond if I desired by sending an email back to him. 3.5 hours of exchange. He wanted to observe and hear me tell him for nearly an hour about myself prior to any substantial discussion. I would say he got due diligence and in return I was given a consolation prize of some read meat - Here on FR so many topics have been kicked around; tonight I was party to the scope that you will never hear; right out of the courtrooms from the SCOTUS to District Courts of DC. I heard about JFnK and his actual military and intel records; the other Kerry who lost a leg and was running for president... Benghazi, the nuance of Rep and Dem packaging of the same programs for their audiences and the policies.
My issue was revolving around service at the Dept of State. Also, I asked them to try to fix what I feel is a security risk for members of the intelligence community working overseas which they will put into the right hands - something nice from JW to the Govt;)
The reality is depressing to hear from the inside - but what I heard was instructive to the bigger picture of what is going on in DC.
I don’’t want to rehash this over and over. Just let you all know that there has only been successful whistleblower in the history of government, and none of us will be number two. If you have an issue run it by JW.
A burning ember, at best. ;)

See my 282.
I simply cannot understand why the 'pubbies do not demand his removal from the committee... not just from the chairmanship. At least POTUS has the stand your ground!
Schiff has destroyed any hope of respectability of the committee... he assured no respectibility for the faux impeachment circus.
Just let you all know that there has only been successful whistleblower in the history of government, and none of us will be number two. If you have an issue run it by JW.
So you mean "there has only been one successful whistleblower in the history of government"?
(Actually, a LOT more than that. But that'd violate protocol.)
There’s another Bengali saying, don’t know if it matches: Man with one foot in two boats splits @ss up the middle.
Haven’t heard that one, but sounds very likely. Bengali sayings can be quite graphic. “His brain is packed with cow dung” is another one I’ve heard.
I liked how he said, at my age, I should be living here with you people but. . .
At least that one didn’t have graphics....
I keep meaning to catch up with Levin - I hear good things about his recent remarks (he’s always good). Caught one clip that was awesome yesterday.
Just came across a new POTUS tweet featuring 5 minutes of righteous Levin:

Yes, according to the attorney at JW. They will grind you down and destroy you or your career.
If RR is (as I expect) a white hat, the only way the derps would let him in would be for him to appear to be on their side. That means playing the bad guy.
I take little stock in trying to use the screenplay to determine how the actor is in real life.
Time will tell.

So far everything is ambiguous except for one thing I realize still made an impression and it’s at the front. I’m about 1/3 of the way through now.
Sarah Igsur Flores was aide + press person to RR. As I recall she has been around a lot in varied kinds of such positions including Republican candidates. RR notes he’s not used to having one. An NYT reporter does a back-and-forth she’s coordinated through Flores and RR replies off the record - the NYT reporter says that the Obama folks didn’t like him because of the Cartwright prosecution & RR says it was not a political act, it was a question of whether Cartwright had leaked and that wasn’t really a question.
TBD ;)
Just read the (internal) documents.
Great to have you back Bagster!
