You have to either already hate Fulmer or be a moron to blame him for the hire. That search was fricked up beyond repair before he was anywhere near it.

That's true.

True Prof. I'm not a fan of Phat Phil but that's the fact of the matter. Fulmer was thrust into a fairly unwinnable situation and almost forced-to make the hire with some serious limitations in play at the time. He rolled the dice ... and lost. How it plays-out in the long run, how much damage was done, is yet to be seen but the sanctions are not good, although, they could have been much worse.

His machinations behind the scenes to move John Currie out of a job and himself into one had a lot to do with it being fricked up.
