21. I actually called Alford's office

And amazingly got a real person.

A very nice young woman.

I was very polite, and told her that respectfully, when I heard this, I hoped it was the Onion.

She actually stifled a chuckle

I repeated what I read in the news, and her voice changed to a weariness and sadness that surprised me.

She said she would relay my comment, and did not dispute the information.

Purely subjective, but she actually sounded embarrassed by her boss.

Just my take.

I concluded by saying that after the midterms, Bad Bunny will not be the priority of congressional investigations.

I thanked her and said goodbye.
