Memo to the Administration and the NAACP

I learned this the hard way, back when I was in my twenties. It's plain from current news coverage that you haven't learned it, so please allow me to share it with you.

Any piece of information presented to you by someone who you know has a reason to deceive you should never be taken at face value or acted upon prior to be verified - regardless of how much you either want to believe it or fear that it may be true.
