Mark I love the reference to Livia, Augustus Caesar's wife, whose public image was indeed that of the virtuous Roman mother. She was said to have raised a coop of all white chickens or something weirdly auspicious like that. Funny thing is, she was a prolific poisoner, killing off all of Caesar's potential heirs and leaving only her own son by another marriage, Tiberius, to take up the purple when the time came. So the comparison is really quite apt. The public official here, David Paylor, while publicly defending his image as the virtuous public official who technically did nothing wrong, is actually working counter to his mandate and poisoning us all. Ok, maybe that's a little bit of a stretch, but Mr. Paylor obviously does not give a shit about his responsibility to the public and will leave a poisonous legacy, while allowing Dominion to actually do the poisoning. I hate that I pay money to Dominion.
