"I don't think either you nor I have enough of the evidence at our disposal to be saying exactly what happened, given that there are conflicting reports."

It has been fascinating to watch so many people choose up sides based on their general predisposition, then cherrypick or ignore facts, or ignore the huge amounts of unknowns here, then further double down and dig into their positions if anything appears that might contradict their conclusions.

It applies to both sides. I don't think I posted on this issue at all because the facts weren't out yet. But that hasn't stopped the circus that quickly ensued.

Says a lot about our politics today, and how little facts matter before broadsides are launched.

Just an observation from a neutral corner.

Without the circus, there wouldn't have been investigations by the state and the feds.
