Oh, come on. 20 hours of work, of which only 3.3 hours was actual lobbying, 16 years ago? A successful attorney, at the minimum, would have done over 40,000 hours of work for hundreds of clients over that time period, and he’s supposed remember this marginal group?

What Fred said is that he didn’t lobby Sunnunu, although he couldn’t rule out possibly doing some work for the group, wh ich turns out to be exactly the truth.

It was his spokesman who issued the blanket denial. All that proves is that Team Thompson is not quite ready to officially join the race. And guess what - they haven’t joined it. They are still organizing and hiring.

Hopefully, they will learn an important lesson from this in that everyone has to be on the same chapter and verse before anyone speaks to the MSM.

Thompson would probably do himself some good politically to let that spokesman go, though.

Fair enough Sturm, technically you make a fair point. It can be dismissed as a matter of perceptions. I made no attacks, just trying to find the truth and I base it on this:

"I'd just say the flies get bigger in the summertime. I guess the flies are buzzing," quipped Thompson about the allegations, which have been used to call into question the truth of Thompson's repeated statements about his pro-life stance. "There's no documents to prove it, there's no billing records, and Thompson says he has no recollection of it, says it didn't happen,"said Corallo

This was from a story dated 7-9 and if Corallo lied about what Fred said then he should be fired. He could have corrected Corallo the next day and anytime thereafter. Colloquialisms about "summer flies" and Corallo's unchallenged statement sounds like anything but straight talk to me. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1863395/posts
