By Any Other Name

 A quick meeting in the lobby of the office of Senator Christine Stassen in one of the Senate Office buildings lead by Rachel D’Fino, Stassen’s chief of staff, to coordinate Abby Alton’s appearance before a senate committee.  The meeting begins with Sulley and Roger in Stassen’s office.  Roger is typing a social media posting that involves the word “Ukraine.” He is joined by Buckley Williams, head of the FDF, who is going to give an open and provocative statement at Alton’s hearing.  He is followed by Anna, who brings news of a simultaneous hearing on the House side.  She is followed by Yasmin, who brings news of a bill that seems to regulate some new aspects of commercial speech.  Roger identifies it as potentially being part of a bigger political activity.  In the process he offends Yasmin, and she pushes back.
