>> But where is the dishonesty? It is fundamental to the jobs these people are doing -- certainly at the top -- that they be free of political bias that in any way affects their work product. They are honor-bound to do that. And if they can't they shouldn't be in the job. It is a hard thing. I doubt anyone on this thread could do it. But that is the job requirement. Why is it dishonest to allow oneself to be politically biased? Well, it isn't for me. Or most of us. But those selected few, yes, they have to be able to do it. If they can't they shouldn't be in the job. The honesty problem stems from the fact that someone (perhaps HRC) might not be charged with a crime she clearly should have been charged with (after all, she was the presumptive candidate). I think that's dishonest. When he made his initial announcement I took it to be an opinion that was free of bias (even though I couldn't really make sense of it). And I said, "That's it. He's the man." But the end, he wasn't the man. He saw her as the favorite in the race and admits he was (perhaps, probably, whatever) influenced by it.
