Funny, I haven't run into anyone with any knowledge of this case who thinks he's that great.
Absolutely everyone I have talked to thinks Michael is a liar and may have even gotten away with murder. That includes most of my liberal friends too! The MSM pools are not true as far as I can tell, and the backlash from this will not be over for a long time in my opinion.
I see no reason to believe he's gotten away with it yet.
