As I said, it's not my job to buy plane tickets, hotel rooms, etc.
and then fill out a government form.
Actually, I remember someone saying during the Parker case that a
government travel office would make all travel and lodging
arrangements.
Not my job to lend money to the government.
I'm watching a lawyer on the stand in the Seminole County part of the
rolling trial say that he charges $500 an hour to testify in court
cases. Sounds like a good fee for me to charge.
