I do not wish to criticize Dave Bratt, he is one of the good guys, but what are these "critical assurances?"

In this case I'd like to know what the difference is in a critical assurance and a barefaced lie.

Anything in writing?

Any oversight?

Any recourse for when he gets caught in a lie?

Sounds like a lot of people are being made an offer they can't refuse.
