No, no. No, he's an insider. I mean, he--and of course, there is the Justice Department division; there's a whole division of professionals who deal with these kinds of cases all the time. And I'm sure that--at least I assume that they've made recommendations to her as well. They should all make their recommendations, and then she has to decide.
