Wright gave an interview to Politico today/yesterday--Even Drudge has now picked up on it--the essence of Wright's words will likely translate to the general public something like this--
"Well, you know Barrick has to say what he has to say as a politician.So I understand why he said he didn't agree with me--otherwise barrick would be crucified and he'd lose handily--but if the general public really believes Barrick's political words then I've got a bridge to sell them--Barrick and I are on the same page--it's just that Barrick can't politically say that we're on the same page"
stay tuned--this could not have come at a worse time for Barrick imo
