This says it all. It also says the media is trying to immunize the Hildebeast from activities she was involved in during her youthful days. Nice try.
Fred claims to know Martin, and trust Martin, but he apparently did not know his friend’s history. Given the importance of the position Thompson is campaigning for, he may wish to dig more deeply into the background of people offering him favors. I am not as ready to absolve Martin as Fred is. My first ready of Martin is that he sounds like a man who has made a career out of ingratiating himself to people with money or power.
