    Eqypt Steve

    Why move on from an example of exactly the type of BS, intimidation and government politicization that Glenn has been talking about for so long?

    Here, Glenn has as much or more of the facts than anyone else. That's usually a great position to be in as a writer and reporter.

    As noted, there are two explanations, both of which are newsworthy, and both involve suspicious, likely illegal, conduct.

    Finally, why move on when the situation continues to evolve? Boylan appears to be spinning a tighter web of lies around himself and his conduct. This is when it gets interesting. Isn't it right about now that Congress starts passing resolutions condemning the traitor impersonating Boylan.
