And that goes directly to your point about how what do you do if the William Barr Justice department, if the Justice Department doesnt take the action . And congress was anticipating that by creating what they through these laws what they call private attorneys general. I did not know that, and that makes absolute sense given the way weve seen those laws work in practice and the kinds of wrongs that they tried to redress. Thank you, my friend. I did not know that at all. Rachel, one ....
