Even if you have a whiff of stink, the underlings are almost always dumber than their bosses and if squeezed even a little, will roll over on them. This is about to blow wide open.

Investigations are like painting…all the work is in the prep. Once you're painting it moves pretty quick. They're painting now. This is the part where the lawyers get involved. If the military has this as a matter of National Security, then it may move a lot faster. Federal appeals are much quicker than state ones, which when exhausted get kicked up to federal.
This ride is picking up speed. Buckle Up!
