Did you get the freepmail I sent you? It made it quite clear she left her position for the VP in 2002, as I recall from my quick scan of it.

I'll tell you what. It's incumbent on you to show me that she's still on staff, because a simple google of her name shows me she left the WH and VP's office a few years ago.

It is not incumbent upon me to show she is "on staff" - I don't know that she is "on staff" and didn't say that she was "on staff." I said she was an "advisor" and/or "counselor" to the VP, which is how she is described all over the place, including by SH three weeks ago.

You may believe that everyone who is an "advisor" or "counselor" to the WH or anyone in in must be "on staff", but I think you know better.
