>> i actually dont. >> well, ill tell you, it was just before the presidential conventions. so if there was a moment when the rnc had a political objective, it was right before the convention. and you actually issued a ruling that they were entitled to e-mail production from the u.s.a.i.d. on the basis of legal arguments presented to you, the statute at issue, and the evidence. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> well, your honor, im frankly really struck at the fact that for all the back an...

You are articulating. i am not aware of impediments to those, but, again, you know, this is the kind of thing that may be litigated and i would have to look as i do consistent with my methodology at any arguments that are raised about the constitutionality or lawfulness of those actions. >> remember in about all of these suits that are involved the courts and making interpretations of false claims act, most of them are brought by whistle-blowers, and remember the government would not even know a...
