Whereas that's obviously true I'm not sure how that makes much difference? All I can assume is they're putting the information out there in an attempt to defend his character. Successful or not isn't what I'm commenting on.

Aren't you jumping the gun a bit by saying I'm taking them out of context? Who knows what the context is? They appear to be suggesting one thing but that could be anything - it's for the inquiry to decide.

I would prefer a court makes these decisions and not people on Twitter.

Again, damage limitation is all I can assume it is.
