The GOP is harassing me yet again so I had a quick look at our Feb 4 and Feb 6 drafts. This is kinda funny, but inour Feb 4 draft we mention "conspiracy theories" (probably referring to the HIV insertion preprint, but there were alot of other crazy shit out there at the time), however, in our Feb 6 draft we _specifically_ removed that word.So, yet again, we actually did the opposite of what the Leakers are accusing us of. I'll let them know that Tony and Francis suggested we take it out :wink:. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2022-01-24 at 13.21.04.png, Screen Shot2022-01-24 at 13.21.16.png]

And now we know who the anti-conspiracy theorist is :bald_man:. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2022-01-24 at 13.28.33.png]

A lot of good decisions were made during the writing of PO1 - it will indeed hold up very well.

I'm still amazed at how on-point we were so quickly. We must have worked hard at the time...

How are the GOP harrassing you?
-
JAQing off is what they're doing... Got two emails this morning to appear at "staff meetings", including from good oldComer and Jordan. Talking to our outside council on Wednesday to figure out how best to deal with this.

I assume you can decline?
-
Absolutely, but the problem is that once they take the House (in November) they'll subpoena me (and Bob) and _that_ I/we cannot decline. That being a legal process, they could also obtain all our documents, emails, etc. - so the game we're playing right now is to be helpful enough such that we can defuse future developments. It's very tricky.

I'd put them off for as long as possible. There's nothing in any of this and who knows what we will be debating inNovember. 10 months is long time in politics.
