Given the FACT that Wolf is Joe's best friend AND next door neighbor, I'd say that would make me laugh.
Novak "smelled" a setup and "cleared himself" by writing the article. He let Joe spew his rath but he obviously told the truth when called before Fitz.
I can't believe I spelled WRATH....rath!! Naptime!!
I hate to tell you this but I have never heard of Christopher Wolf!! I never got that stranger on the street thingy either.
