“So much time being used to explain it” : because it takes repetition for people to learn things.
That’s one theory. There is also a known factor of the more one explains, the more likely they have something to hide. In ‘real’ life, vs. this circus we are all observing, when I run across someone who adds layers to their ‘story’, it’s generally due to trying to bury the truth.
I’ll let the FEC sort it out. It really doesn’t matter one way or another what I think about it.
