Its like christmas. Anyway, my score for UK performance would be as follows:
accusing RAO - 10 out of 10
absolving RAO - 9 out of 10
disengaging himself from the relevant allegations - 3 out of 10.
Again it depends on your political affiliation. You choose to see what you want to see
Maybe I choose to also note that he made a distinction between politics and crime and said he has no evidence linking RAO to weapons and the crime?
Anyway, for go to great lengths to implicate ones adversary only to conclude that there is no relevant evidence is such an anticlimax.
Is that politics? Exactly. All politics.
What about not opposing the accusations but merely referring the accuser to some place else? That was not emphatic enough. I would have expected him to discredit the author, that which the accuser quoted, in the same fashion they have done to the others. To go guns blazing against this 'witness' so to show he cannot be relied upon, maybe a gun for hire. He did not. The witness still stands, unwilling though he may be.
His offence was good, his defence well.....
I hope you understand my marking scheme? No?
