Peacock was famous for throwing the best parties in Washington at taxpayers expense.
Perhaps some of SHAWs clients had attended a party or 2 and were still tipsy when they made the reco to SHAWs.
Management of old were taking advice from SHAWs on who to hire?
In any case i dont think this thread will exist much longer.
Im sure we will get the offer and a sell recommendation from the high ups who will probably just jump ship to the new company.
