He graduated with a Masters from Walla Walla. So do the math on that. If he was on the fast collegiate track, he completed his Bachelors at 21. Immediately went into grad school, finished by 23. And a mere 7 years later is a "senior policy advisor" to the most corrupt politician in the Senate? Isn't that special.
