Who Paid for the Coat?
Q: What are the implications of Kornak's actions for the attorney general?

Q: What would you make of that opening?
It's corruption at the worst level. This is wrong. And it needs to be solved; it needs to be taken care of.

Q: What if we find out they've been withholding stuff?
That's an area that the Michigan law hasn't dealt with very well. We try to deal with those on a court basis where we go in and use different tools in courts.
