I understand. All I’m saying is that claims like this are made to sound dramatic when maybe they really aren’t that dramatic at all. And the most glaring aspect of this issue is that it’s all because of ONE PERSON who refuses to be transparent. His lack of candor and honesty is making these people work harder to cover his ass, and now the legislature of Hawaii is compromising laws that protect first amendment rights because of this one person. It’s very scary that these legislators don’t seem to acknowledge the gravity of coming up with a bill like this.

I can’t help but ask what he’s got over their heads, to get them to put their careers and freedom in jeopardy for him. What they’ve done for him could land them in jail.

The public deserves some answers though.
