I know Sherrod Brown surely must be attending county fair this week some time, just south of us. Thank heaven I see no need to shout at him. But I would like to meet him some time.

So, with what I’m given this period of time, I works the crowd, gently, ever so gently. heh. I like letting people make up their own minds, sometimes using info they hadn’t been aware of before. *g*

To people who believe in the rule of law, the investigation of allegations of crime is a matter of course. So is the resulting prosecution, if the allegations are found to hold water. These things are to be expected. They are not matters that should cause “debilitating controversy.”

A wrongful conviction, however, would be a matter for serious controversy, a wrong in need of righting.
