FIRST, Black President
Well played
Reminder to ATL: There are attorney's in the gov't who do not work for DOJ and actually have to educate our admittedly talented colleagues at DOJ on the laws, rules, policies and conduct they are defending when they have to represent the gov't in lawsuits against our clients - the executive branch agencies. DOJ may be the largest litigation firm but the means to make the policies that DOJ defends happens here in the GC's office of the agency. So give us some credit already...
That said, I will happily take my raise.
Hillary only says well played when she's trying to play catch-up. Barack and I however, have been saying well played since the beginning.
