Highlights include a family room with cathedral ceiling, a library, a movie theater, a recreation room, and an exercise room. The remodeled kitchen has granite countertops, a skylight, a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, and double Wolf ovens. Outside is a pool, a cabana, a shared tennis court, and a four-car garage.

Raines should be hunted down and made uncomfortable for the rest of his life. Not one day of rest for him or his family.

This is one of those places Tony Soprano types lolled about smoking cigars and scheming how to get more for themselves. BTW, what other properties does Franklin Inc. own as an ex-federal employee?
