Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

What the Justice × MA-08 pair cannot prove

An obligation is a legal commitment. $225,482,143.46 is that kind of sum for Department of Justice inside MA-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) over-reads the field. Do not rank Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: Department of Justice and Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08).
