“It would have. I was concerned in the beginning about agreeing to it when--for the first time ever, no one ever--people were saying, ``We know you didn't do anything wrong, so appoint a Special Counsel.'' It wasn't, ``There's this evidence of wrongdoing. Were you involved in it?'' or something like that. But it was a much bigger story here and then eventually around the country, I think, than I had anticipated. So the important thing for me, again, was for people to feel comfortable about the way it's handled so I can go back to work. And I think now people will feel comfortable about the way it's handled, and I can go to work. Mr. King. The one thing most people are asking is--they'll learn more about this, because it is involved, obviously--is why you took a loss and didn't take a deduction since everybody who has a loss takes a deduction.”
