The difference between being a principal and sitting in are night and day. My spouse attends meetings where he is not a principal. You know what that means? Sit down, shut up. You are only there to be informed. You do not speak unless spoken to and asked to speak. My JCs aren't principals? They can sit there and shut up! Holy Phuck!!#! $@$!#! $

As senior legislative policy analyst for the Speaker of the State House, I sat in on numerous meetings with the governor and his / her staff, as well as House majority caucuses. My role was the same as your husband's, to listen and observe. I did not speak unless I was asked a question directly by one of the principals, or if my boss asked me to further explain a certain bill in more specific detail.

We would have discussions afterward with my boss, obviously, where he allowed us to freely share our opinions about what we saw and heard. But as staff, we knew that we were not part of the decision making process. We had to respect our place accordingly, and further remember that whatever was said by the principals behind closed doors was expected to stay there.

Aloha.

Afraid now of the military being used against them. This "break" serves to "break" the military away from the President. I'm glad, count me glad. The mil will all focus on Mattis and to a lesser degree Kelley. He can always fire  Mattis and Kelley, but he loses the soul of the troops.

I hope he doesn't ever go there, but he's Donald Trump. He will probably go there at some point. Posse Commitatis has loopholes my spouse has long pointed out.
