Gary if you are not going back, and you sent a Registered letter asking clarification then you have done your best. They probably won't go any further than the letter you got. They have no enforcement unless you go back.
Same thing happened to me at Spangdahlem AB GE. I was attending NCO Academy at Kapon Barracks and when returning back from home visit one weekend I got pulled over in what I thought was credentials check, but the policeman told me I was speeding. On autobahn in rural area. There were no speed limits as I had traveled this same road many times. But Germans set up speed traps by posting speed limit signs and then put multiple cars for weekend sweep. I waited on paperwork to arrive at my home at Spang and didn't receive it prior to returning to States. A couple months later my father in law, who was Chief of CBPO at Spang called and asked bout it. I told him I never got any paperwork and as far as I was concerned I was no longer in their jurisdiction. A few weeks later my First Shirt called and said he got letter from Spang (my father in law) and asked for his assistance in settling the fine. Yes, I was never a favorite of my father in law. He was a 30 year E-8 and was pissed because he knew my rebel approach to things and I made Chief at 20. Anyway my First Shirt had also recently returned from Germany and told me he "forgot" where the paper work was, he also said unless I went back to Germany they had no means of collecting. Even though my father in law was "assisting them."  The next time father in law called I asked if he got a thrill out of sending the "Bad" info on me to my Chain of Command. I also told him I had no intention of paying for a speed trap.

Leavenworth, reminds me of a TDY I took from Spangdahlem AB GE back in 1979. I was official escort for two base Airmen who were caught each with a kilo of hashish. Both received 3 years at Leavenworth. Upon arrival I was relieved of custody and was given a guided tour of facility. I sure would not want to be assigned there. After tour I watched as my 2 guys were processed in. First thing was strip search and water bath from big hose. It was like Basic arrival with all the screaming and yelling. I was provided routine up dates on prisoners. A quick history. The first guy was huge, ex Sky Cop. Second was little runt type from Avionics Inst Shop. One would think big guy might have troubles, but he was released early (12 months) for good behavior. The little guy was busted several times for "touching" guard. Each carried additional 6 months. Then he tried to escape and got 3 more years. He was finally released with Bad Conduct (For prison actions).  Life gives more than it takes if you try.
While talking to guards I learned that prisoners who attack guards are immediately transferred across town to real Leavenworth, not the Military prison, but the hard timer Federal Prison. Guard said they average about 5 or more deaths a week at Fed site. Mostly violent fights.

"USP Leavenworth, a civilian facility, is the oldest of three major prisons built on federal land in Leavenworth County, Kansas. It is separate from, but often confused with, the United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB), a military facility located on the adjacent Fort Leavenworth army base. Located 4 miles (6.4 km) north of the USP, the USDB is the sole maximum-security penal facility for the entire United States Military. "

So will Nancy P get her second Impeachment in a year? That's not a record I would want to be associated with.

Jim, I did listen and watch some, not all, of Trump and friends speeches. Both Rudy and Don Jr "Incited" the crowd. Trump urged crowd to go to Capital. I do not believe Impeachment is in order, as I didn't last year. But his actions were too much too late.
I also believe he should have had a "Face the Nation" White House speech to both his supporters and opposition...The American People. He should urge unity and work for the country, but not for the Socialist Nation. 
He has tarnished a great and productive Term. He will not be remembered as the guy who got things done, but as the sore loser.
Several Fox people said they reviewed most, if not all of the court challenges. The big takeaway was the legal briefs did not include any evidence to match the Talking points provided to American people. More politics and I believes than see the evidence.
It is now time for GOP to regroup, find a new leader and work to end Dem majority in 2022. But until then we have to keep the big three GOP RINO Senators from Maine Alaska and Utah from working with the enemy... Woops, working with Opposition. Can't continue the rhetoric of "fight, demand and destroy" (Dem words).
It's back to the pen and ink to all of my Ohio members of Congress to work for the American people, not the Socialist Nation.
Just really disappointed that the two GA Dem Senator's are worth the $500 million spent in their election.
