Close friendships need to be nurtured and cherished. That's how you sometimes save your political ass. Mutual respect, accommodation and appreciation always goes a long way in cementing the ties that bind.
But when you start to deliberately lie, withhold facts and limit access, you turn what was once golden into lead.
Crisis management is never helped by taking a red flag out and waving it in everyone's face. Those are the tactics of fools.
Everyone has ambition and a drive to be upwardly mobile. Throw freezing water on that at your own peril. In every crisis there comes a breaking point where personal drive and future prospects are ceded in favour of at least setting the record straight. That time is now.
For an oaf who turned friends into blood enemies, the price will be positively stratospheric -- in a few short months the other shoe will drop and it will be utterly devastating. It will positively destroy the idiot and take his minions with him. The fool had a clear choice. Instead he chose the path straight to political suicide. As he's about to discover: [R]evenge is a dish best served cold.
