Chris Klomp wrote that he had sent Robert Moszkowicz an email with a deadline of October 5 at 1:00 PM.

Klomp stated that he outlined in a document of more than 4,000 words, with evidence and arguments, why he believed his characterizations of Moszkowicz were defensible and fell under his right to free speech. He added that he would publish the piece on his website shortly after 1:00 PM on October 5, regardless of whether Moszkowicz responded.

Hopelijk denken ze niet dat nachtelijke onderhandelingen stoer of heroïsch overkomen. Het komt over als een bende amateurs die één dag voor de deadline nog rap iets ineen moeten flansen. De politieke versie van een student die zondagavond zijn wiskundeboek openslaat voor een examen op maandag. En dan met wallen onder de ogen komen doen alsof dat “hard werken” is. Hou toch op. Dat is geen staatsmanschap. Dat is uw huiswerk niet gemaakt hebben en hopen dat de klas achterlijk genoeg is om onder de indruk te zijn. #politiek #onderhandelingen #staatsmanschap
