I figure there’s an ethical problem with the reporter getting the @FBI’s reward, but it seems a shame in this case.
*record scratch, freeze frame*

Yep, that’s me. You’ll never guess how I wound up in this situation... Image

“Let us stand by our duty, fearlessly and effectively. Let us be diverted by none of those sophistical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and belabored - contrivances such as groping for some middle ground between the right and the wrong...”
