Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Going to the FBI for an interview is not paid work--I'm out $6K for having done so.

        Doing large documentation projects (regulatory, training, marketing) that corporations are willing to pay significant $$ for. Lots of process related stuff, which is where I learned to read bureaucracies from their docs.
