The Secret Service told people to write something like:
I did 100% of my tasks, with 100% effort, 100% of the day.

Why are people complying with real answers? I don't get it. They will fire people no matter the reason, including making something up. I also thought i read that judge issued a stop order on this activity yesterday or the day before.
