Although his comments to the press help sell papers and keep people interested in developments here and elsewhere I would give MH one piece of free advice.
STOP saying anything to anybody other than a good lawyer because you will only make it worse for yourself.
"No comment" should have been the reply from the beginning.
I do not support his actions, merely pointing out the obvious.
A self-publicist should know when to say little, just as he knows when to say a lot.
But I suspect it has taken on a life of its own already.
