I'm sorry, but keeping John Kerry from becoming president is one hell of a lot more important than any "violation of privacy". If this person has first-hand knowledge and fails to act, then he is as bad as Kerry.
"The fact he is in his mid eighties and has no documents makes the entire thing a bit moot. IMO"
If he has "first hand knowledge" then no documents are needed. The fact that he is in his mid-eighties means zip as regards his testimony.
Apparently, they have been working him like a mule.
He is not going to be the one. I am quite sure that all those comments were made to him.
For some, there are bigger things than personalities, and I cannot bring myself to criticize his decision. I can only be disappointed.
