His Opening Statement. In his very first meeting they talked about loyalty and whether comey wanted to stay in the job. That relationship between performance and staying in the job kept going throughout. Comey didnt do what the president wanted, was fired. So what he thought was implicit actually came to pass. What does congress do about this . Well, they are where it will end up if it ends up anywhere. The president cant be prosecuted, the law says, what will congress do . What will the republicans do .

When verizon started to roll this out ten years ago it wasnt so obvious and we got a lot of questions about why we were doing this. Who needs 30 megabits per second . But Everybody Knows today that we need much more than that which is why were now up to 500 per second over the fiber and much more to come. So fiber is an important part of the i. P.

So fiber started in the Telephone Network many years ago. There ar
