Lakin is now the cause celebre, martyr, and political prisoner.
Correct.
Perception is reality and just as the portion of Americans who doubt where Obama was born has grown continuously as the lack of substantiation escapes suppression by the MSM, so will perception grow that Lakin was honorable and Obama was not.
The relatively light verdict could well be a veiled message to Obama by the tribunal in sympathy with Lakin’s statements questioning Obama’s lack of transparency, statements from which Lakin never backed down.
