But Hunter is reponsible for covering up Cunningham's misdeeds?
I see an inconsistency here.
I didn't say or imply that. If you're interested, go back and re-read what I actually wrote. I said I wonder if Hunter covered for Cunningham -- meaning made excuses for him. Not in the sense of a criminal conspiracy to cover up Cunningham's misdeeds, but in the sense of making excuses for a friend's questionable behavior.
