Going Clear, Part 17 – Haggis Lies, phony victim positioning

So he says, by October, Marty Rathbun got a hold of the letter. Well I actually have an email of 23 August, 2 months earlier, where I’m already, I’m talking about, I’m talking with Paul Haggis, about, not only do I have the letter, but I’m getting detailed meticulous instructions about how to present it deceptively to media contacts that I’ve established, two months prior to October. OK? By October, it found its way to me, it didn’t find its way to me, Paul Haggis gave it to me. Paul Haggis consulted with me every step of the way, on how he should position this and how he should do this. And, OK?

He called Haggis, who was shooting in Pittsburgh, and asked if he could publish the letter on his blog. Two months earlier than that, Paul Haggis wrote to me, and made me the coordinating point on seeing to it that his letter was published. So how could I be asking him to publish it two months later, right?

Yeah. And then he got a call from Tommy Davis, “Paul what the hell”? Of course, I coached him through every step of the way and he wanted my counsel every step of the way, and you know, even then he was out getting counsel from Jason Beghe, and Bill Dendiu, and running it by me and trying to use my comm. I mean, what a prima donna.

This process went on for two months. And so finally, I probably told him, I’m publishing it because you can’t make up your mind one way or the other what to do.
