Don't have any use for the Duggar family. I never heard of them before this scandal broke. If anything, their pride has set back the perception of Christians as decent people.
That being said, I want a nuke hammer dropped on whomever dragged this out into the public. The way I see it is the way Sean Connery described it in "The Untouchables."
"He pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue." ..
It was always in the public. JimBob could have had a judge expunge this years ago.
However, rumor has it he had a devil of a time getting a lawyer to take this case.
Had JimBob done the right thing at the right time it would have been adjudicated by a youth court judge at that time and every last bit of it sealed.
As I’ve said, watergate plumber class coverup here. No adults in charge of this. Anywhere.
