The first degree is when your organization gives tax and legal advice to a pimp and his prostitute for their plans to open a brothel full of teen and pre-teen hookers in the country illegally.
Another degree, somewhere near the top of complete and utter stupidity, is not listening to the lawyer you hired to look for areas where your organization could get into trouble when she tells you that you employ some very unscrupulous individuals.
But whether you try to implement some or all of these recommendations, there must be someone committed to follow-up. There must be a review mechanism, and a means of holding people accountable after any final decisions are made. If you do not make some hard choices now and ensure they are carried out, they almost certainly will be made for you.
David may have to double-check my translation from the above legalese, but I think I’ve got this one handled.
Translation: You hired some real dirt bags. Straighten out their shit or people you don’t want looking up your pooper will be doing so in short order.
I, for one, am glad that they didn’t listen.
First, it means big legal bills, which means less money to undercut our electoral system, bribe officials, etc.
Second, it also probably means less in the way of donations, and certainly less in the way of new contracts with various levels of government.
Third, it means that a few real dirtbags (no, not the ones giving the advice we all saw on the tapes, but higher ups) will be visiting Club Fed.
Finally, it is egg on the face of the Idiot-in-Chief and his Party.
More is better, in this case.
You got the translation just right.
