Levine is consistently entertaining. I laugh a lot.

“But “nearly $10,000”! For intimidating victims of a toilets-and-Bigfoots scam! It is a disgrace to the office that such a small-time crook could become attorney general. Imagine him, as the head of the U.S. Department of Justice, negotiating a billion-dollar settlement with a big bank over years of mortgage misdeeds. How could they take him seriously? “Look Mr. Whitaker I know you have done some scams in your time, but this is the big leagues; we’re not talking about threatening inventors over toilets here.” Ideally the prosecutor working on massive fraud cases wouldn’t have done any fraud at all, but if you have to have a prosecutor with a history of connection to fraud, you should at least make it a big one.”
