    So, Arnie, Paisano! Yer a lawyer and at 500 bucks an hour, you got plenty time to drop in around here.

    So, I asks you, didn't dear Jamie Gorelick make it awfully hard for that FBI gal to blow a 3000+ lives saving whistle?

    Didn't her subordinate enforce Gorelick's rules?

    Do you know about the Gorelick rules, or is it inconvenient for you to comment 'bout that, cause you are part of Gwenn's lynch mob ' round here?

    Without putting us all to sleep with pages of legal mumbo jumbo, could you sum up the Clinton Justice Department's views on looking at suspected terrorist's computers and phones, and, really tell us, with a straight Agostino face, that they were correct in their lawyerly prohibitions against a real potential alarm to prevent 9/11?

    Hey, you wern't sworn to secrecy 'bout dis was ya?

    Nobody's gonna bump ya off if you tells da trut', right?
