The Linzee news would be the opposite of surprising. I really do try not to be this kind of person, but I would delight in seeing him humiliated, disgraced and full of shame until his death.
Imagine proudly declaring 40% of a group approve of you.
Any job evaluation. Any High Fidelity asking each ex gf why they broke up with you. Your children. Your wives and ex wives. 40% approve. Time for a raise?
Yeah the NDA stuff makes me really suspect the truth of the claim. Why would anyone care about that lol. What’s he gonna do sue over it? “You violated the unenforceable NDA now I’m gonna sue you and out myself as gay” wat
If it’s true his legit only play is to come out and pray for forgiveness a la Jim Bakker. Nothing else can work. GOP can’t let Dems steal that seat like Jones did in AL so he has to do that or resign so they can run another candidate, or fade it and hope he can squeak by and then resign and have the GOP governor appoint a replacement (not sure what SC’s rules are).
The NDA is symbolic. People are worried that breaking formal and informal confidentiality agreements means their career is over. No one will ever work with them or trust them again.
Right or wrong, the assumption becomes that even if you think he’s right to speak out against THIS person, you won’t take the chance that YOU could one day be that person. This is particularly true if the escort tends to deal with high-end clients who almost certainly engage in various degrees of corruption. I’m not arguing whether this is right or wrong. Just expounding on why someone would hesitate to come forward.
If you aren’t sure why someone wouldn’t just casually break an NDA, or think that the allegation that an NDA exists makes the story LESS credible, I’d suggest going and reading up a little bit more on Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump (aka David Denison), or going back and watching Liz Warren eviscerate Michael Bloomberg. I mean Ronan Farow wrote an entire freaking book about the way rich, powerful men and corporations use payoffs, NDAs and the threat of bankrupting legal action to cover up sexual misconduct.
