Similar experience with nephew at Colombia; Eric "Pardon's For Sale" Holder was the speaker. After I blurted that out, they decided we shouldn't attend:-) In case you're not old enough to remember my reference to "pardon's for sale;"

Holder made his bones with the Clinton Crime family a long time ago.
