Governor--Make sure you see a doctor while you are stateside. There might not be any left here when you get back.

Angel is also there to pick up and wash Fitial's dentures.

Quoting 670Magas:

Public Information Office is going on a trip wtith the Governor? Will the PIO be talking on behalf of the governor during the meeting? Taking Notes? What? True waste of taxpayers money...

Fitial takes Angel to his junkets to carry his bags and push his wheelchair. Then they take out their bibs to eat lobster and steak.

Quoting FitialForever:

Thank you Angel. We appreciate you taking care of our most Honorable Governor Benigno Repeki FItial while on these essential trips. Your dedication and service to caring for our most beloved Father of the CNMI shows you have a big heart and compassion because we know you do not care to go on these trips. We hope you have a productive trip that will help us achieved better times for sure. People who complain about this are only jealous because they are outsiders who do not say anything when other haoles go on trips but only get mad when our people travel. If you do not like the way we run our government then all you outsiders go home!

BIBA REPUBLICAN!

Fitial has to get to Buckingham before the Feds do and make his own deals before Buckingham starts to make other "deals". Wouldn't it be nice if Inos was to sign an extradition order with this Gov. off Island? That would be so nice.

But then again even if Buckingham was returned and got convicted, the Gov. would pardon him anyway so not much would be accomplished only a lot of money spent.
Only a Fed. conviction would be able to stand. o besides the "Hatch Act" what other Fed. charges would be applicable? Fleeing prosecution?

I wonder if Fitial could rescind that order once he returned before Buckingham was picked up and fully processed and shipped back?
Where are our lawyers?
