In reply to the discussion: Just a Garland reminder [View all]TigressDem
(5,125 posts)20. But realistically, he's at least a fucking adult. He took things from his former work place.
ANYONE else would already be indicted, arrested and in jail by now.
HE NEVER SAID that he did not take these items. THAT WAS NOT IN DISPUTE.

NO ONE forced these documents upon him.
AND WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM ANYWAY?
