It is up to the media and the people to put pressure on those individuals who investigate these matters to ensure that the process will be diligently followed. <br /><br />During the process, indeed, there will be events that lead people to question its legitimacy, but these events do not necessarily negate its intended purpose.<br /><br />Both sides leaked information. Both sides gamed the system to work it to their advantage. Both sides marshaled their "attack dogs". Professor, it's called trying to win a case within the confines of the rules.<br /><br />Furthermore, professor, please be honest here. There seemingly appears to be a disconnect with this statement...<br /><br />"I have steadfastly refused to question the motivation behind the probe and I won’t start now."<br /><br />with this statement...<br /><br />"An investigation into nothing took forever to produce very little. In the process, political partisans misused it in a failed attempt to bring down a Governor."<br /><br /><br />So, indeed, you do have an opinion on the matter regarding the reason behind the investigation. <br /><br />As the venerable John Foust would say, a classic Standard Contradictory Disclaimer™ on your part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
