I posted the article from the Wall Street Journal because it wasn't engaging in gossip. It was giving very narrow statements as to the few known facts.
That doesn't mean that any of the gossip going around isn't true. It just means that as of right now it's unsubstantiated. When you stated that I was making a lot of assumptions, I quickly agreed. I've agreed going on eight hundred times now.
I put those facts out there so that underlankers would realize that this isn't just a simple open-shut case of infidelity. Everybody else wanted to make this a morality play. I was pointing out that the allegations are potentially much more complicated.
He should absolutely not go to prison due to this affair. But since we do not know the details of this affair, we cannot say for certain that it was improper for him to step down. And we cannot say for certain that he stepped down solely because he stuck his Johnson where it didn't belong.
I don't know why it's so hard for you to admit that maybe since you don't have all the facts, it might have actually been a completely appropriate resignation that had more to do with the keeping of state's secrets than his sexual misadventures.
