Well Xath can't edit, that's kinda the point.

So if the answer is just "Stafford refused the offer of help and had Fowler leave the office" we're all good? Because I'm 95% sure that's it.



If Stafford doesn't have video evidence then I can live with it, but I don't trust Xath not to pull this again in another 2 weeks... exactly like what happened last time


Well, this is just a continuation of the same thing, so its not like there can be new developments

Pro said no video, so I guess you're good

If you are good, I have a tweet to make on it. We good to go?

OK, so, re-read Capulet, few questions

You were going to have a bit on a general record of cracking down too hard as a JAG, harsh sentences on someone later found innocent. What happened there?

Also, the nominations got bumped back up to the high numbers?

Republican loves him, nominated by a Democratic President= decently high confirmation numbers. It's really rare to see seriously contested nominations.

It was meant to the one weakness he had in JAG, since locking up gangs and sexual assaulters isn't much, just that he had a reputation for slamming down hard and pushing hard for convictions, and once or twice you got a victim out of it.

I'm mostly fine with the confirmation votes, maybe one/few GOP went off, but the numbers are all right

Short Bio (1 to 2 paragraphs):
Attorney General John Francis Capulet was born on July 25, 1949, to a retired Navy Commander, David Capulet, and a Boeing worker, Beatrice Walters. In his youth, Capulet was highly intelligent and very determined, learning how to read at age 3. He advanced quickly in his early youth, and quickly took an interest in law. His proficiency at very basic law at the age of 15 was due, in part, to friends of the family who were lawyers. Capulet made up his mind, deciding he wanted to be a lawyer. His mom fully supported him, but his dad wanted him to join the Navy, leading in riffs in the family.

Capulet though he could have the best of both worlds. At age 19, Capulet went to Harvard (not the law school), and got a four year degree. Upon completion, he enlisted in the Navy, and received the rank of Ensign, due to his degree. He served in the Judge Advocate General Corps for 30 years, making a name for himself prosecuting criminal cases at naval bases across the world. He began to rapidly make a name for himself, and seemed to peek as a moderately known JAG corps member. In the 1990s, he helped with the Tailhook Scandal, making a massive name for himself again, though not in a good way. Capulet was harshly criticized for his perusal of charges and punishments due to the requested punishments being too strict. In one case, the case of Captain William McVay McIntyre, he ended up prosecuting an innocent man, sending him to jail for several years before it was found out that Captain McIntyre was in fact in innocent. However, he proved that all press can be good press as, in 2001, he became the Judge Advocate General of the Navy, a Vice Admiral. He served in that capacity for 4 years, making his mark in pushing for more female JAGs.

After his retirement in 2005, he was immediately tapped by President Shrub to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia. Here, he cracked down on corruption, going hard against politicians who seemed to be receiving kickbacks and political favors, earning him many enemies on both sides of the aisle. He also cracked down on major organized crime rings in the D.C area who were operating on a federal level, which led to the take down of several gangs, once again making him a target. Again, his perusal of the harshest sentences possible in every situation drew ire from some politicians. This successful and robust work, however, led to his appointment as Solicitor General of the United States in 2009. In a surprising vote, Capulet passed his nomination 85-15, with 15 democratic Senators voting against due to his support for harsher sentences. Under President Winston, Capulet took on different task, representing the government before the Supreme Court. He issued several Amicus Curiae briefings during Obergefell v. Hogdes. He had one more step on his career. Attorney General. After the departure of the Attorney General in 2013, Capulet was nominate to fill the role and was confirmed, 70-30, Dissenters coming from the Democrat side who questioned his law methods during his time as a U.S Attorney and as Judge Advocate General and saw his nomination as appeasing the republicans.

I feel bad for both of the Johnsons.

Cox had Rod into a mental asylum and now Donald is getting kidnapped.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.
