….he will, along with his lawyers, accountants, financial advisers, et al, hold a press conference and answer the many lingering questions about this mess.  I’m sure the press corps, both local and national, would welcome the opportunity, as should Franken if he really wants to get out from under the cloud hovering over his campaign and put it behind him.

Some questions that quickly come to mind include:

How did Team Franken decide on $70,000 and 17 states?

Does the $70,000 include penalties and interest?

Who told him he had no tax liability in the first place?

Who signed off on the termination process for Al Franken, Inc. in California?

How come the stories out of the Franken Campaign kept changing?

Does this settle all outstanding legal and financial issues for Al Franken, Inc?
