As I commented on Blognomicon:
The fact that he says he has "no animosity" and is pledging to "advocate non-prosecution" makes me wonder if he's trying to buy silence if they are caught.
This whole story doesn't smell right.
Are we to believe Barry doesn't know street hoods when he sees them? That he gave them a few dollars to carry groceries?
They came back and he invited them in?
Why do I cynically suspect he wanted a drug deal, and they saw an opportunity?
The fact that he says he has "no animosity" and is pledging to "advocate non-prosecution" makes me wonder if he's trying to buy silence if they are caught.
"There is a sort of an unwritten code in Washington, among the underworld and the hustlers and these other guys, that I am their friend," Barry said at an afternoon news conference...That part I'll buy.
