Thus, just in case he is unable to pull off denying his participation in the most egregious fraudulent hoax ever perpetrated on the President and the American public in U.S. history, he also used his highly publicized appearance before Congress last week to avail himself to a Plan B—i.e., present to the public the image of a befuddled old man who decency would dictate should be left alone. His hope there, of course, being to use this newly created doddering image of himself at some point in the future to enlist the court of public opinion to come to his defense, if and when it ever becomes necessary.
So, which is he?
A feeble, yet honorable, old man coming to the end of a life dedicated to serving his country, as he would have us believe? Or, is he, in reality, a guilty man on the run who is as sly as a fox?
At present, there is only one thing we can know for sure.
He can’t be both.
