Having an affair vs. killing someone is materially different - one is legal, the other is not.

I am not debating the spying, smuggling angle here; but it this was just the affair, its a decision by the board, whereas if he run over an elderly lady at a crossing, its no longer a choice - law is law.

Btw, re: ad hominem 'manosphere' or 'woke' whatever. I have nothing to do with either.
