happen to know jim, and glad he spoke out. i was waiting. i suspect he was getting his ducks in a row before he did. needless to say, he knows a LOT of lawyers. iirc, he’s sued before.
havent spoken to him in dog yrs, but we’re fb friends. he hasnt posted about it yet.

eta if any of these men had a shred of decency, they’d refuse it.
