1st sentence Post#1, perhaps I took it a little to literal? It has been a long day and much of it was spent sourcing tools for our new Pioneer Kits. Using a good tool to do the work is a thing of beauty.

Golf1- Little piece of advice for you: When a QP ask you a question, just answer it. We don't really care about your excuses. That will be especially prudent if the QPs screen name is in green

You do have to admit - they appear to be nice shovels. And given where a real investigation (highly unlikely) proceeding along the immunity/perjury lines TR favors (me too!) could go; she really might get "Fostered".

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Not to speak for someone, but I took it to mean that Ms. Learner has dug herself quite a hole, and seems to be accelerating her efforts, thus necessitating additional shovels.
