“Karl Rove is right. He needs to clear the air.”
How the hell is he supposed to do that? They set a trap for him. Leak the settlement from over a decade ago, knowing that no one can address it because of a confidentiality agreement. And now the bimbo who cashed in suddenly doesn’t want to come forward. What the hell do you suggest he do?
I can tell you how to clear the air. Just tell the truth. No spinning, just the truth. He knew about this for over a week, and if he actually did not recall the details, that is time enough to dig them up and cough up the truth.
