I think that a mutual friend of Kelton/Lopez (a former DI and now a student at TBS) told Phil Stackhouse or Kelton about Kraics making the contact.  I can contact Karlstrom now, or we can wait until we do our mass interviews and get the fuller picture.  Either way, this may be an issue of witness tampering.

She said 'no', not 'permission', just accountability, etc.  I informed her that I believe this could be a perceived issue of interfering with A/C relationship.  But, I did notify her of the continuance for SSgt Lopez's trial dates and that I'll be talking to her soon about additional documents.  I also informed her that my other client has a hearing next week.  But, it appears ripe for abuse when Lt McKee wants to run the info for client meetings, etc. by SSgt Lopez's OIC who happens to be the chief witness against her.  We are looking into a unified response to this matter since the entire office is involved.  Do you have a position at present?  I think this may evolve while you're away next week, so I wanted to catch you today.

If you would like to arrange interviews, request supporting documents, or require any other support from the command, please let me know. This way, we can ensure Marines are available to assist you and not currently out (leave, TAD, or training), the CO and the OICs are aware for accountability and prioritizing work, and I can be the central liaison between you and our command. This is also the Commanding Officer's request. If you have any questions or concerns, my contact info is listed below. Have a great day.
