how to administer the dormant account, and it does not match the level of angst you are trying to trump up here. It appears you do not even know what Becerra was asking them to do, so your question(s) are not really about the facts of the case, just your punitive evaluations. I also listened to Becerra discuss this issue, and he's several steps ahead of you.

It's unfortunate that two high-level Democratic personnel decided to ruin their lives over a few thousand a month, but I'll take the word of authorities who looked into this and said Becerra was not involved.
