I'm interested in reading the log he intends to post.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Feds hit him with a gag order.

    As far as graft and grants go... He can write all the reports he wants. The administration will only file them in the trash when cronies are benefiting. Hey, it is someone else's money...
