      There’s a difference between “I know we’re not your employer any longer, but you’re still forbidden from this thing” and “hey, I know we’re all kind of disappointed and emotions are hot right now. What people say to the media can come back to haunt us. Please don’t do that, especially if that’s not your area of expertise, as it may have implications in the next election”
