We’re glad the agency is now setting the record straight and, hopefully, will provide accurate, honest and straightforward information in the future.This is more on the "Always Think Forfeiture" fiasco, and it is unintentionally revealing.
Honesty is not something you should have to hope for. It's something honorable men and women demand of themselves. It's one of those "gimmes" I just referred to.
Still, I wonder at the sudden conciliatory tone, and from "Maximum Mike" himself. Perhaps everyone wants to be on good behavior during an "audit". Lord knows the powers who prefer to work in darkness have had some high profile illuminations lately.
Based on observation, I think it more likely this is just the BATFU CYA MO. I can't help but speculate on what might be revealed if Rep. Sali demands all documents related to this, including producing the names of the other representatives he was told had inquired into the matter before him. If any really did.
That's the problem with broken trust. People never know what to believe, and even when you're telling the truth, your motives are suspect. It's that boy crying wolf thang.
Anyway, head on over to the title link and read the whole thing. You might want to leave a comment there, too, because some of the leftist flamers are in need of a good dousing.
