re: #156 Lateralis

And your partisan take is he knew the conclusion the police investigation and went forward with the comments.

MY supposition is that if someone shot at my window, I would want to know the facts immediately. I would consider it minimal responsibility as a public official to make certain that any statement I made on the topic was factual - and hence get the facts first, if only for that reason. Hell, I might even look at the window myself!

But let’s say your utter incompetence defense is true. He still used this as a vehicle to diminish and degrade other quite real attacks on his fellow elected representatives and still made it into a callow and contrived political play for completely self serving reasons and he still is trying to deflect from the very real guilt the GOP has for whipping this stuff up.
