Al accepts that he was the victim of a scam, but feels no responsibility for that which he never committed, certainly not what the Republicans invented out of thin air. He was scammed and then railroaded by people who should never have fallen for it. He accepts that he was the victim, but he does not accept that he was caught being guilty for anything of which he was accused. He is only too aware of who profited from the whole scam, and who tried to. Again, if he has changed his mind about any of that since January 18th, I can claim no knowledge about that.
