In the earlier posts on McCulloch–back when he released a statement–I essentially said there were two choices:
Either he was telling the truth and should be viewed as a good Republican trying to save the Party
or
He was lying and passing around dirty tricks.
Option one was clearly true in this case–anyone who does a search on McCulloch in the back files should take the descriptions in that context–looking back they sound harsher on him than they should. The criticisms were in context of if the files weren’t true as were the compliments in context of the allegations being accurate as to what was in the file.
