Empathy? What would you say to him if he were your imaginary neighbor you ran into at the dry-cleaners?
Come on… His very wife urged him not to resign. I don’t think she felt particularly hurt or any such thing, mostly just sorry he got caught and now her grandeur would suffer. It was a marriage of convenience and she was in it for the prestige, for the second-hand power, being the governor’s wife.
You cannot divorce his personal issues and those of his family from the fact that he was a crooked politician, and his wife was a politician’s wife.
All in all, wasted empathy…
