    Classic propaganda tactic. Speculating about alternative answers after you already know the answer or when everyone knows where the answer is.

    He speculates why did all these rich and powerful people not abandon him? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you liar, it’s because they were his clients so he could blackmail them if he wanted to.

    He speculates why did he get favorable terms from previous trials? Because he was secretly a good guy? No, you propagandist liar, it’s because he was ultra wealthy and well connected.

    If he was secretly a good guy, he wouldn’t have offed himself in prison, so there’d be a giant investigation over that.
