Welcome to politics. If charges are made against me in the press, I'm guilty back home until I can prove otherwise. We're not talking about people being in a normal business. You're dealing in politics, where people are trading on influence.
Have you guys been hard done by? I don't really see where that has happened. The lobbying commissioner has done some fairly reasonable reports, as far as I can see. I don't see that she's been beating up on you.
