They never disappoint being weasels.
Well, Bennett did say that HI told him they would tell him how to reword his request. I believe that meant the requested info list needed to be reworded, and NOT the authority that he (as SOS has) needed to “prove” so HI could comply.
There was an “attached form” mentioned in one of the emails Bennett sent to HI, and I see nothing of that mystery form of requested info in this Verification letter.
They never disappoint being weasels.
Lawyers very often, however, disappoint even weasels.
