If he had "no idea" that his brother was engaged in
"nefarious activities" then it is patently obvious
he is not in touch with reality and unfit to perform
the duties of his job.

All it will take is one piece of evidence that he did
indeed know of his brother's nefarious activities and
the house of cards will fall.

I notice that his responses are either "cocksure" 
positive with no equivocation or delay OR slow,
"I don't seem recall...", hesitant and totally unsure 
of himself.

The nose grows.

Despite his assurances that he has "no idea" of where 
his brother is, I wonder what would happen if he
betrayed Whitey?  It's obvious he's between a rock 
and a hard place - Mob retribution or being sacked 
by Romney.  What's worse?  Pliers & blowtorch or
the unemployment line?
