No, I worked for the government. We all work for the POTUS. I was not WH Staff. C.A. is City Administrator. I did work in every ward doing Ombudsman duties supplementing the Office of the City Administrator. I also campaigned with the Mayor in every ward of the city and was comfortable there, except maybe Simple City,however I was friendly with the guys in Cease Fire, Don't Smoke the Brothers, which negotiated a truce in that part of the city. I worked with corrections and offender supervision personnel and visited USP Lewisburg and USP Allenwood with them, so, yes, I talked to prisoners, some of whom did not think they belonged there (and some probably did not). I know at least one guy from the Homicide squad and he told me after we had both left DC government of how the shift would gather at the begining in the streets to get loaded together. Intimate enough experience for you?
