I really enjoyed reading this. I think, from what Ms. Toensing writes, there is no there there so, unless Fitzgerald is not the paragon of rectitude he is made out to be, this is going off a cliff to nowhere.
What I worry about is the "theory" that he has spent 2 years and millions of dollars...so he would be inclined NOT to want to say "NEVER MIND".
Therefore, he would go for the old conspiracy or whatever, just to have something to show for it.
