I'm just going to tell you, from where I sit, that sounds supremely arrogant when I'm asking you a question in this committee. I'm not interested in buying your book, sir. I am interested in your answering the question. What lessons were learned from this whole affair?
If your suggestion is that you don't delve into this conversation at all in your class, that's fine, but to continue to say, “Check my resumé, check my LinkedIn, read my book, buy my book,” is not landing the way you think it probably is.
I'll ask you again what lessons you have learned from this affair, whether to students or to this committee for recommendations, because ultimately we have a responsibility to have some kind of report or recommendations coming back from this. Five years later, it's still a mess. It's still murky, and it still undermines the people's faith in the democratic institution here.
