You mean as admittedly happened. Since Wade has already admitted to the crime, it is a tough position to still argue it was only an alleged crime.
Right. But it's still "alleged" until he's convicted in a court of law. Personally, I'm sick of this guilt by association crap. So what if Wade or Abramoff gave me money? If I don't know they're crooked I've got no reason not to.
Our ruling class does engages in enough actual questionable behavior.
