re: #38 Buck

I am not saying that anyone (besides you) is lying.

Rest of your paragraph is ignored as the basis for it is a lie.

Um, okay. You realize that your explanation of event’s and Cantor’s differ markedly. But you’re not saying that he’s lying about it. Okay, so he’s just being circumspect or something? I’m having to guess, since you won’t explain yourself.

In your version of events, Cantor champions the agent— he definitely contacted Mueller and said he hoped he was aware of how serious this all was— but then had to back off in some way because the stuff about the agent being shirtless (which turned out to be nothing) came out. I don’t get why he’d have to back off— the shirtless thing is pretty easily explained, and the affair and the investigation still really occurred.

Okay, what I really don’t get is you alleging the shirtless stuff was used to make Cantor back off but by the time we heard about the guy being shirtless, the scandal had already broken in the media. Soo… how does that make any sense? Are you saying Cantor was told by someone that the shirtless photos existed and so he backed off?
