I enjoyed the title of the news post from which this excerpt comes:

I'm beginning to concur with Neil Gaiman, who upon learning of the circumstances surrounding the mystery of the Bishop and his missing memory as well as the news articles involving Russian spies and Polonium posioning, had this to say:

I am far from convinced that Daniel James has done anything wrong.
