Why were three FBI agents traveling with Scott Perry's family?

Look, is there just one guy named Scott Perry or Scott Walker or Rick Perry or Rick Santorum or Rick Snyder or Rick Scott?Just one crappy guy who has a lot of hats and fake mustaches?

That's awesome! I've never been to a Red River Shootout but I do want to go to one some day. But I sure do want to make sure it's a year that OU is heavily favored to win. The only thing worse than a Longhorn fan when Texas loses is a Longhorn fan when Texas wins!

The people I know at my federal agency who have work iphones, have separate phones for family & friends. If I sent my boss something from my home email, I cc my work account, because these that's what they expect.

Fed here. I rarely use my personal phone for work. It's usually a text or email about something I think about after hours and not carrying work phone. And I always cc the work account.

Obviously a direct violation of the 52nd Amendment.

How? I’m not seeing it. Also this is the DOJ inspector general, that’s why somebody said it was probably about Jeffrey Clark who was a DOJ employee. The Secret Service inspector general is the one for department of homeland security. These names are starting to sound like things in a science-fiction TV show. Maybe that’s just me getting burned out on all the information.

It's just common sense, you know?

Also, want to text about breaking the law? Get a burner. Seriously, GOP, I'm not even a criminal and I know how to do these things.

Meadows. Meadows is not going to be left holding the bag for the others.

Clark would be my guess. I'm not sure if Eastman was considered part of the DOJ for any of this. I believe that even as a contractor he would fall under the jurisdiction of the OIG.

Seizing Eastman's phone was likely in reference to Clark.

Main Justice would be the lead in that case. Not the Inpector General office. The IG only has power within the agency the IG works under.

Clark, the DOJ employee, is the likely one they're looking at.

There's more than one investigation going on. There's going to be overlap with multiple agencies and departments looking at the same thing and also parts that only one agency or another is looking at.

No need to be disappointed.

I don’t think Eastman was working as a contractor for the DOJ. I believe he was considered one of TFG’s private attorneys, like Rudy.

That's my understanding as well. But there was a lot of fuckery at the end there with Trump appointing all kinds of political appointees to career positions, so I'm not 100% Eastman wasn't working for the DOJ. Which is why I'm pretty sure Clark is the target on this one.

Of course there's nothing stopping the OIG from turning incriminating things over to main justice
