They know each other (makes sense, they&amp;#x27;re both working at a high level in the same industry) and they have people watching their backs to make sure they don&amp;#x27;t do anything that can legally be considered corrupt (again, makes sense, shit&amp;#x27;s a minefield and an ill-defined one at that. If I were in that position I would have people keeping an eye on that whether I was corrupt or pious as a lamb)&lt;p&gt;Am I missing something? I clicked on that link salivating for the political blood of Comcast executives and all I got was a polite grownup email version of &amp;quot;sry bro can&amp;#x27;t come, rules n shyt, sounds bumpin tho&amp;quot;</text></comment>
