And you sir/madam (?) are engaging in a logical fallacy with your Hamlet reference.  You're not "simply pointing out a factually questionable previous history" - you're obviously interjecting an implication that the candidate is not trustworthy because he was mentioned in an unsubstantiated allegation over six years ago.  

I protest because you're a cog in a broken system that would defame a highly qualified candidate, to a political office in much need of strong/good leadership, without giving him a chance on his merit alone.  You're a part of the problem with this stagnant political system.  

Besides being a highly opinionated anonymous poster in a public forum, who are you?  Where do you live?  Have you done anything remotely public service oriented?   

Any critical mind would have to wonder if you're either working for his opponent or you just have something against him.  Neither of which makes you just a random person posting in the objective spirit of transparency.
