I certainly am not going to go over all flailing about factrivia on this diversionist crap again. You and Boomer have your opinions and I have mine.

Your opinion is incorrect because it has a false basis for it; That Lochte lied.

Lochte did not lie when he reported that he was robbed by members of the Rio Police department. That fact was absolutely correct.

Lochte *DID* lie when he said he had exaggerated, but he obviously did so in an effort to help his teammates who were being held for ransom in corrupt Brazil.

You need to stop asserting that Lochte lied unless you specify that he lied when he walked back his original statement. His initial statements barring a couple of fuzzy and minor details, was exactly correct.

No. “Fuzzy” “minor details” aren’t lies - omission or exaggerations aren’t lies, are they. What exactly do you have invested in this prat?

The STANDARD of proof is no longer on my part; there are plenty of instances of relenting and admission ensuing the incident. That you care to continue this absurd mania is entirely confounding (and no I am not going to recite them for you in some weird self flagellation).

Give it a rest. He is done. The damage is done, and the longer you prop up this farce the worse it will be for him.
