But that's suggesting that there is no more to learn, I suspect there is much more we haven't heard yet. I think Coulson has a lot more to say, as does Brooks. She did say that, over the next year, more things will become apparent and Coulson said, "there's a lot I'd like to say, but I can't....;" was that "just yet," or "ever?"

It's akin to all the mini-scandals that enveloped Blair in the early years. Takes the shine off but never caused a serious problem for him.
But has the public had their fill of these things? Cash for questions, staying in hotels, trips in private jets, cash for honours, cozy chats with news proprietors, expenses, paying off prostitutes, undisclosed gifts, funding from questionable sources etc., it all adds up and there is a breaking point.
