True--but nobody made him talk to the media in the time before the trial, and nobody made him take the stand and thereby make himself vulnerable to cross examination. So in addition to "dishonest," "conman," "thief," and "convicted felon likely to die in federal prison," we can also reasonably call him "dumbass".

Good point - I think you are right about this.

He can (and does) have multiple problems.

It's not like because he made one really bad decision, none of this other bad decisions exist anymore.
