“At no time in any dealings involving myself and Ms. O’Leary or at any other time did I observe any evidence of any kind that Ms. O’Leary was ever personally involved in improper contracting activity.”

“I posted a statement about a long-time political adversary yesterday. I offered to do so, and she did not force me to do so. No money exchanged hands, no apologies, just an expression of regret.

Tell me how you want the post above changed,  (I’ve crossed out apology) and I’ll change it, since this matters to you and you indicate you aren’t getting a fair shake here.

Apology:
n] an expression of regret at having caused trouble for someone;
[n] a formal written defense of something you believe in strongly
