"That mail clerk! The one going to law school at night! He must have drawn up these papers, not any of us!!"
I don't think this is going to last long. The Inspector General seems to be investigating now. He must be the only IG Trump didn't fire, however, which is a bit worrisome. Getting fired by Trump is a badge of honor

(25,981 posts)Trying to claim they didn't know is a lie, or an admission they had no proper authority, oversight, and control of the department they were supposed to be running. Neither is a good look.

(7,634 posts)Either they are not lying and this means we have deep moles in the justice department that are career civil servants who issued these subpoenas which is scary or of course they are lying to cover their assess.

Ask Apple and Microsoft for the signatures on the documents.
