believed, according to other people's information, that
Martha Fagg was often absent from the office in Sioux City?
A. Yes.
Q. And that was based solely on reports from other
people, not from any data at that time, January 25, 2010?
A. It was based on the gossip that we talked about, as
well as the statements that people gave her shortly before
she became U.S. Attorney, as well as a file that our AO had
kept, which I know you have those documents.
Q. Yes. You stated at the end of this paragraph that,
"As I stated previously, prior to receiving the memo" -- I
think that means the March 9 memo -- "I had been in kind of
contact with attorneys in the EOUSA's General Counsel's
office to seek advice about managing Ms. Fagg."
Now, my -- We've looked at a lot of documents, and

reimbursement for a trip that I think occurred in -- I think

Does it sound about right that you sought advice from someone
named Rosenbloom?
A. Yes.
Q. At EOUSA?
A. Yes.
