If points are still usable, I've got a small pile of flatscreen TVs coming my way minimum.

Edit: Just to be clear though, I'm not expecting anything to come of it. FTP points were never redeemable for straight cash (just released bonuses) and I'm still of the mindset that if I see my balance, great, but getting points too is just hoping for too much. ^^

Their right to information was for a completely different thing 3 years ago. They mention it in like 2/3 of their articles for some reason.

The rest of that article is about Bharara receiving an award from some organization called India Abroad...

I don't really have sources anymore.

I'm trying not to pay attention to this because sweating these things while stuff is uncertain just gives me ulcers. You guys should try too.

I've been the one sticking up for Wendeen. This will be her moment in the sun and she has to be 100% certain to publish that short piece.

meh DOJ and PS are probably watching the Olympics now. Don't think there will be any news today. We'll await for White Monday then.

The DOJ doesn't make such proclamations. FTP, on the other hand, is quite adept at making announcements about forthcoming announcements.
