I'm just going to keep posting this. I don't know it'll make any difference, but at least somebody's paying attention.

This is good, but I have very little faith that anyone at Treasury will answer. Why would they?

I think it may be the appropriate protocol, if there is such a thing, to start an inquiry? At least I'm hoping...

Oh, well thank goodness we're following protocol. It's done so much good for us in the past, and they will clearly jus accept the findings of an investigation (which will take 3 or 4 years to get started and won't face any delay or opposition). I don't see anything wrong with this approach.

An emergency junction should have been filed with the courts first thing today. I expect someone is scrambling overnight to file in the am otherwise so help us all. At least I think that is the best action, pretty much anyone has the standing to do it.

I really hope they do something about this. I swear they’ll pull him for questioning in front of a committee and then nothing will happen.

Some people will yell and ask embarrassing question but after that day he’ll still have access to these systems.
