The fact that Stephanopoulos said it anyway - AGAINST the written orders 
of his supervisors, who presumably consulted lawyers - makes me rather 
surprised he still has a job. There would be seem to be ample grounds to 
dismiss him for cause. At the very least, his salary should be docked 
until he's paid back the amount of the settlement.
