He probably wasn't. But then if he wasn't offered all that $$, should he have been saying he was?
I'm continually amazed at how EP's supporters just ignore issues regarding honesty and credibility. And yet my guess is that if your auto repair place was systematically lying to you, you'd find another place. Or if a family member was systematically lying, you'd call them on their BS. Or if a boss or employee was always lying, you'd be upset and take action. But here in HHSE world, it's all good? Right?
