3. Uh... you're upset that that is being done? Hopefully this is

the beginning of more accountabulry for other actions going in AZ.

But geeeez, how'd you feel if you, or someone you care about was affected?
This is good all around for potential Justice.

5. good start and only a good start.

6. Ok, then. I'm certainly waiting for more...

if it needs to take longer for dotting the i's and it's getting
it as airtight as possible so team drumph & co, et al can't slip away.... I'll wait (as much as I want them in the clinker the day before yesterday!).

4. what's going on that the feds

would have jurisdiction over?
