I offered a former SEC Regulatory Counsel access to my files (certainly the most comprehensive of any expert in this matter). When I told him the sheer size of the files and suggested he might want me to parse them to him, he said “I’ll call you.” Right. It was obvious he wanted plausible deniability. I expected no call, and got none.
Having said that, this morass is turning into a situation analogous to the stage Slavery was in 1860, when Lincoln made his great speech at Cooper Union in New York City, containing the third element of his statement supporting the concept of “Right makes Might.”
