Then Hume should be blaming the "Uncle Ernie"...the packer that groomed his son. That's who really killed him, not Newt.

Long story, but Newt got falsely smeared. It didn’t happen that way and Hume’s hatred of Newt is misplaced.

From the little I read on this, I had the impression that it was unclear who was threatening to out (that's the way I heard it -- a threat, not an actual outing) Hume's son, but that there were several more likely culprits than Newt.
