Caputo spoke to me on the phone and said he's going to "miss" his old tweeting habits.
"I'm now a servant of the American people and some might be disappointed, but my tweets will be different," he told me.

“When you tweet in spirited fashion, KFile is going to have them. I've known that all my days. So I don't mind what you've done. I find it fair game,” Caputo added on the phone to me.
