So now I have to pay extra to teach my employees to lie to me?
WTF?
Maybe they should hire Patches O’Houlihan (Dodgeball movie reference) > “?If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a question!
Series, the problem is not the people, the problem is the content of the lies they are compelled to repeat
WTF?
WE should get Congress to block State from spending OUR money for that.
You know it’s my experience that if you tell the truth there’s no need for “prepping” before entering a courtroom
When I was a young investigator, I accompanied a senior investigator on his quest to see a defense attorney to seek the cooperation of the defendant. The smug attorney sat behind his desk and after intros pointed to a huge fish mounted on the wall with a short inscription under it. He said go read it. We did, this is what it said: I would not be here had I not opened my mouth. He then went on to say this is what my clients pay me a retainer for. My client is not going to say a word, he is not cooperating, and he is not going to plead guilty. He will not serve a day.
He was right.

Don’t kid yourself....This is a way of threatening these folks. I’m gonna guess that there is suicide in some of their futures...at Marcy Park of course.
I wonder who is running AMTIS, Inc. Some more crony capitalism?
When the government closed for a few days arrogant impostors were thrilled everyday Americans and their ‘snot nosed’ children wouldn't be walking through their palaces.
Liberal elites are contemptuous of the people. They think they're ‘superior’ based on fawning suck-ups in the press - the only people base enough to confuse ‘shallow fashion’ with ‘class’.
It's gonna take a lot more than a half million to teach these lowlifes how to pretend convincingly. I almost wish them luck... classes will be called, "The Lois Lerner/John Kerry Seminar on Why It's Important to Fake being Authentic "
More blatant abuse of taxpayer’s confiscated earnings by government dictate.
Obama sure has brought us change
“....help train department officials to effectively testify....”
Shouldn’t that be “testilie”?
I wonder who still regards said “change” as the kind “we can believe in”?

Actually this is like Tiger Woods hiring a golf coach, he already has the talent and just needs the splinter edge to win. You see with these type of people lying comes naturally, smooth as silk. They just need that splinter edge to get them the winner in the photo finish at the hearings and the press will give them as much extra nose as they can to squeek out a win.
Big clue for the mac daddy administration sock puppets, If you tell the truth you don’t need training.
If they told the truth, they wouldn’t have clawed their way to the top of today’s DC dungpile.
