Bullshit. Quit lying, Joe. It makes you look as though you’ll stoop to any level to defend that creep.
Lying? Hell, I was shocked to see you rush to judgement. I had previously respected your opinions--far more than I do now.
You were standing in the proverbial street, torch and rope in hand, almost as soon as the allegations were made. Despite those allegations and their purported evidence being debunked, you persist.
Your mind is made up.
You will not look at any exculpatory evidence and it has been that way from day one.
Show me where you posted that he might be innocent. That you had any doubt. It hasn't happened.
I'm not stooping low, I'm just applying the same constitutional presumption of innocence that you or I or anyone accused of wrongdoing should get.
I read an account of something that was supposed to have happened 40 years ago that read like a mid-90s letter in Penthouse Forum, not like an account of a victim.
I saw a supposed yearbook signature that carried the initials of his assistant. It was in three different colors of ink, and the lines of writing were at two distinct angles.
What's more, the annotation was ridiculously redundant--not the hallmark of an attorney, even a new one.
Mall cruising? Nope. No evidence.
Kicked out of a Mall? Didn't happen. no record of anything like it.
Details about the placement of the dumpsters at the restaurant? Wrong.
The more you looked into the allegations, the more they stank.
Democrat party involvement on the part of the accusers? Universal, sometimes high in the local Party.
The list goes on. The whole smear doesn't hold water.
You threw him under the bus and pronounced judgement on him faster than the National GOP, and they didn't let any ink dry, either before they started pressuring him to bail (which would have appeared a tacit admission of guilt, something no innocent man would do) so they could get 'their guy' in the running.
