David Koch expects you to believe he wasn't speaking on behalf of himself, his brother, his industries, or Americans for Prosperity.

So when David Koch said to the Palm Beach Post late last month, "We're helping him, as we should. We've gotten pretty good at this over the years. We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more," he was just offering an unrelated opinion. He did say “we” a number of times, but that didn’t include him?

Get ready to take the “down the rabbit hole” leap into wonderland:

jsonline: Mark Holden, Koch Industries' general counsel, and Missy Cohlmia, a Koch Industries spokeswoman, said Koch violated no law. "David Koch wasn't speaking on behalf of Koch Industries or his brother, and not speaking in his capacity as an Americans for Prosperity Foundation officer," Holden said. "He was referring generally to AFP, what the organization was doing and expressing his personal opinions regarding what was going on in Wisconsin. Under Wisconsin law, he is permitted to do that."

Why did he say "we?" He's permitted to do something, but that wasn’t what he was doing. And this whole David Koch thing, is so overblown.

Holden said, "We think it is more heat than light. We felt in general, when the story first arose in February, it was a false storyline."
