In addition to the reception area, it held only three rooms. The Congressman and his Chief of Staff had their own offices; the rest of his staffers shared a bullpen-like office. Anna and Jack needed a moment to figure out the logistics for simultaneous interviews in the limited space.They weren’t interviewing all of Lionel’s employees. Several had gone home for the August recess. Malik Jones, the press secretary, was on vacation in New Zealand. Terrance Williams, the campaign manager, was out working on the campaign. But even with the skeleton staff left, they didn’t have enough space for everyone.They decided Jack, Samantha, and an MPD officer would take the Congressman into his office. Anna, McGee, and an FBI agent would interview the LD in the emptied-out bullpen. Teams of one MPD officer and one FBI agent would interview the Chief of Staff in his own office, and the lower-level staffers in the reception area. The rest of Lionel’s staff would wait in a committee room next door.
