People here were suggesting that this was JR's problem, but I hadn't paid them much mind... just figured posters were venting their anger and disgust.

These little historical details, though, don't exactly offer any evidence of normalcy. I ran across a post several days ago saying that Roberts' summer trips to Malta are an annual routine. It was just a random post so I didn't think anything of it or care to verify it. But now noticing his "old roommate" is in the picture (literally and figuratively)... ?

Makes one wonder if just before this trip, Roberts was shown photos of previous adventures on Malta. Or maybe he was shown a nice gift that might be sent to his kids, a book called "Daddy's Roommate", pics included.

*Something* sure made this guy jump the shark.

Maybe he heard from O’s main squeeze Rhomm..

I became curious in much the same way as you, trying to find the source of that Martha's Vineyard photo. Given what's been quickly assembled here since the SC ruling I'm starting to see the 2005 NYT piece on Roberts in a new light. That choice of photo and its implication seems unusual to me now. That Don (Donald S.) Scherer volunteered to release that particular photo also struck me as odd, almost as if he wanted to blow Roberts cover.

And this photo of Robert Lazarus shows that he clearly has ties to the Obama machine.

With the evidence of both Roberts and Lazarus at the Malta teaching venue, it may well be the indirect back channel leak to the White House.

Another item, might be significant or not, the lack of any indication that Roberts was accompanied by his wife and children to Malta. To me that's an ideal family vacation abroad. Daddy's travel and hotel expenses aren't greatly increased by the addition of the family and the Malta island site filled with history makes for an excellent vacation. But it seems that's not the sort of down time Roberts had in mind.

BTW hat tip to Ezekiel for igniting my curiosity about the Vineyard trio photo file name.
