I don't get it all, either.
Maybe it's an issue because the folks in the administration are not ususally forthcoming and transparent to begin with. So if actually "caught" not being immediately out in the open there is actually some ammo (pun almost intended) to castigate with and to put on all the news shows.
It's human nature I think that if someone takes a while to own up to something you tend to wonder if he is hiding something else. Otherways, why wait?, right?
Add that he admitted to 'one' beer that afternoon and you get a lot of wondering.
Maybe it was just a slow news day. Or maybe it's fodder because before the election we were promised a more honest and "moral" administration.
There isn't training required to get a hunting license here, so that isn't an issue. The only law broken that I can see is hunting without the proper license - he had a general hunting license but hadn't bought the stamp that allows him to shoot quail.
Later, after he was back in Washington, he *did* send in the $7.00 for the stamp.
They've closed the case, with no charges. I, myself, think he should get a ticket for the no-license issue, but I agree that there should be no criminal charges.
