        Better a big lie than a small one. He did prep with the White House after all.

        He must not attend church at all. Seems framing his as a reformed Christian would have been the best play.

        He was supposedly educated by Jesuits. An appeal to Augustine’s life history might’ve been effective...

        Exactly! Start talking about pears and all that. But the Jesuits and Augustinians have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to education.

        They do indeed. :) But I can't imagine any Jesuit education, especially for young men, not touching on the Confessions!

        They did not even use the church as superficial prop to pretend he was a reformed guy.

        What other defence does he have? Liar-who-made-this-up-for-political-reasons doesn't work b/c she told her husband & therapist in private six years ago. Doppelganger didn't exactly, you know, take off. They are left w/ nothing but "You don't wanna believe I did this, so you?"

        Absolutely no idea. “I’m innocent, so don’t investigate me” is an absurd plea from a jurist.
