I read James COMEY - A Higher Loyalty. A woman had it on audio with James reading out loud. So a lot of it really stuck. That passage is very believable. Donald John gives notice in about every conversation.
This is the way it is.
He monologues on and on watching for reaction. Probably trained assistants doing that for him. If you interrupt with any opposing view, you are fired. If you behave later, like you have any opposing view then you are fired. He gives you notice with the monologue.
Thanks for the link. We might do it again. Listening and reading at the same time does it for me.
