EMAIL DETAILS

yeah, this is what I suggested Stuart say: We’re really excited for Beau to grow his work in the Whistle Blower group. It’s a natural continuation of what he did as AG, and is something he’s already been working on since he joined the firm in January. It doesn’t change anything for him politically - I think he’d make an excellent Governor.

Option one is by far the easiest, but I like where we’re at now, and feeding the rumor mill by not responding may only put more pressure on us. A fourth option may be an amalgam of two and three.
