      Illegal is only illegal if someone is willing to prosecute it. Who pray tell is going to charge the Secretary of Commerce?

          Okay, got it. I’m a bit confused though about how that changes my statement around the fact he won’t be charged.

            I think they meant it just as a “he’s even more slimey then you think!” not an indication of if they’d be charged or not.
