When three decades of service earns you a rhetorical flogging:
Not only did the state Department of Health and Human Services, the agency for which Rudo works, put out a news release refuting his sworn statements, but McCrory Chief of Staff Thomas Stith issued a news release and then held a hastily arranged late-night news conference saying that Rudo was lying about a meeting in which the scientist says McCrory participated by phone.
"We don't know why Ken Rudo lied under oath, but the governor absolutely did not take part in or request this call or meeting, as he suggests," Stith said.
Yeah, we've heard this one before, a couple of times. Whenever Pat goes too far wielding undue influence for one of his private-sector buddies, his loyal staff steps in and fabricates a story that he wasn't involved. But after a while, that deniability is no longer plausible.
