@Matter frankly I think there was a lot worse that could be dug up about him and I saw folks "building" up cases against him (going much further than I did in my thread) while still being honest.
It would have either been resignation or ousting this time around.
What's being pointed out here is definitely part of the problem today in msm. It's far too easy to exaggerate and get away with it. But it would have also been so easy to be honest and put forth the same impact, with greater weight...
