Yeah, the other letter he wrote in the huge font misspelled "heartbroken" and misused the apostrophe-s in "Saints." Now it sounds like he wrote the State of the Union Address.

Irish Channel begat Mr. Benson. Diction and grammar were not their their longest and strongest suits.

I have a source that granted me access to the real reply that Tom wrote before his legal team intervened.

Anyone see him "give" this statement? Or was it an email that anyone (Gayle) typed from his account?

Obviously it was typed by his lawyer or Greg Bensel. Only a dummy would think it shouldn't/wouldn't be.

That's the point. It doesn't mean shite.

At this juncture all of their statements are gonna come from a lawyer so that's a useless point.

true, but a press conference could clear up a lot of this shite.

Mr. Benson could literally walk up to the mic, say he loves his wife, he is competent, and he is standing by his decision. That alone would pretty much blow all of this up and settle it pretty quickly.

Made in response to a useless statement.

I'm thankful that my family doesn't act this way.

That e would go far in swaying me his way. To me , right now, it looks like Gayle is in control. why did he try to rob his trusts? Why screw up his businesses by failing to pay yaxes? I've seen this happen to family members, though not over such massive fortunes.

Pump him up full of Provigil and put him in front of the media.

In the court of public opinion but that means nothing. Rita ain't gonna say "well he sounded good I'll just drop it".
