Blowback is (classically) when your own side believes the disinformation that you secretly planted to disrupt the other side. More generally, it’s the unforeseen negative consequences of covert actions.

None of this is blowback.

Dang it. I should have expected this. What was just there… a book?

There is a sequel?!?!?!

That’s a popular opinion among people who have not worked in banking or financial compliance or law enforcement - and it’s not true. The people I used to deal with at FBI vastly preferred crypto investigations because of how easy it was (in most cases) to track the $$$ relative to offshore banking.

You can’t, generally speaking, prove negative claims about bribes or anything else.

You can’t prove that you are not the hidden beneficial owner of a bank account somewhere in the world. You can’t prove you don’t have the key to a safe deposit box full of gold bars. Etc etc etc.

You confidently wrote something legally impossible (voter recall of a NY elected official) would happen. Now you're asserting the Governor will do something you didn't even know existed before I mentioned it.

And before people start commenting - the governor’s removal provision exists but has not been used in either a very long time or ever, so that’s highly unlikely as well.

New York state law does not have a provision for recalling elected officials. So, no that’s not going to happen.

Which part, the CFAA claim?

It also really united Americans in the 1950s, the 1860s, and (if you will grant me a bit of liberty with the historical record) every damn time it was used other than WW2.

There‘s also the famously successful A-TEAM program for an example of non-military govt service. Look it up.

It’s the sort of thing that Dave Winer or Douglas Copeland would have written in 1994.

It will be fine.*

I was briefly looking forward to your scholarship on the law of schoolyard fistfights and am now disappointed. Who do I sue for compensation?
