Instead, he chose to make a bigger issue out of it. On top of looking foolish, we're now going to get to see whether he actually did break election laws.

I'm not trying to defend Wenzel. I'm saying that he didn't do anything illegal, or much different than what a lot of other people and interest groups do, every election, yet you're saying that he tried to buy city hall. That's an exaggeration, so I quoted your post to say so.
