Yea...that anyone who works for the godvernment can claim the 5th concerning anything godvernemnt related is total BS. If oversight asked you what time you crapped on a certain mourning, you better spew forth with time, size, color, texture, and content of said turd. If you didn't keep a record of the turd you better climb down the toilet slide down the pipe and find that turd so you can submit answers to the question.
Sliding down the chit hole pipe should be no problem for politicians or most in management that work for same...slimy little bastards that they are.
That the four or five counties surrounding DC are the richest in the country tells you way more than you need to know.
The frogs jumping is inspiring. You are right, we should follow suit except instead of showing up with Molotov cocktails we should exercise the 2nd amendment on them just so the obtuse fools understand we mean serious business. The 2nd amendment is only as valuable as our resolve to use it.
