I'm not once insisting he's guilty, I'm simply raising questions that point to his guilty demeanor and curious behaviors surrounding the circumstances of this case... he acts guilty and deceptive... and if he's running around on the cheating side of town, this clearly makes him a prime target for counter intelligence efforts, what would he be willing to give away for the sole purpose of saving his butt because of an affair.....
