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.
I can't answer to that, as I have not followed Hunter's or Cunningham's entire political careers, nor their friendship if they had any. It is difficult when a friend places you in a position of having to say ANYTHING about their wrongdoings, but it happens. And I suppose a compassionate soul MIGHT err on the side of generosity. It is not a good position to be put in.
Such as, what was POTUS supposed to say after Rudy recommended Kerik for HS Chief and Bernie turned out to be a liar, a cheat and probably a mobster?
