  • My crywolf comment wasn’t to imply that he hasn’t done anything unethical (i think he has) or anything illegal (I’ll leave that up to the lawyers/judges/jury to decide) but rather that I’ve heard the ‘rove hours from inditement’ line so often now, that I instantly disregard it as something that will happen, and won’t bother to do anything more then mock it until he’s actually been indited.
