I started a new email thread. I have concerns about this report.
It goes beyond a PM investigation into the internal politics (including
bylaws and RONR without mentioning them). Was he asked to do that? If so,
that is improper on the part of the person giving the instructions. If he
was not, that is inappropriate interference in internal politics on
counsel's part.

Do you actually support transparency in publicly disclosing
the investigation results Elizabeth? Saying "Ooh, transparency. Good
idea" sounds kind of sarcastic, but it can be hard to tell via
email.
