Off topic but why are spouses of lobbyists allowed to be on any President's staff?

Agreed. That should be asked of Congress too. It is a conflict just like the wife of the prosecutor or defending attorney serving on a jury. It is bad policy for America and why isn’t it prohibited?

What was the ignition source? Why was she unconscious? Toxicology and autopsy results? Motive? Spark from headlights ignited existing fumes in garage from a leaking gasoline or other inflammable container? And it takes weeks to get post-mortem forensic toxicology results.
