But if he has done it, it would be for the good of everyone, not just you, to see him locked up. Especially the victims.
[ He's been poisoned long before this. The stroke of the pen that turned Hawk's words into the end of Caroline's life as she knew it was his. Everyone who had been ruined by McCarthy's inquisition would be right to blame Tim, in some small part, for keeping that engine running. How many envelopes of faked evidence and blackmail has he delivered? How many hearings has he attended, passing out memos and filling up glasses of water, so that someone's life can be destroyed with perfect clarity? His only good deed in Washington had been a betrayal.
Politics is an ugly game, but he'll play it, for her as he's played it for Hawk, even as it burns at his soul. They're in Hell. It's only going to get hotter. ]
