Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
In terms of releasing the info, I don't have any concerns per se, however, this is all subject to an
ongoing investigation. Normally, I would never release such information without first ensuring
that the investigative body (OIG/FBI) do not have any concerns that its release may interfere
with their investigation. Of course, you may have already done that, but in any event that is
between you and them and not my business.
