This sounds like something that someone battling an addiction does.

Non-drinking alcoholics have a sponsor they can call when they need a little extra support to stay off the bottle.

Non-using drug addicts have a sponsor they can call when they need that extra support to stay off the needle or the pill.

So Johnson (or his son) have a sponsor they have to account to if they...well...you know what...

Seems like having an accountability partner is because you need someone to keep you off the ...well...you know what. Just weird.

It's different from having a sponsor. yardwork Nov 2023 #11

I don't think it applies to his Government devices... brooklynite Nov 2023 #13

So he has a firm, but not a bank account. That makes sense. Also this doesn't sound like grift at all... themaguffin Nov 2023 #14
