I found myself wondering whether Freeman, if he could’ve adopted Walt’s approach, might’ve presented a harder target for Schumer, Israel, Emanuel to strike.

Assuming you’re referring to Freeman’s statement on the debacle, that came after the fact, a reaction to his treatment by the lynch mob. How could it have made him an easier target while the campaign to derail him was still going on?

Thank you for acknowledging my point, stated in more positive terms.
