Who West didn’t even claim to meet, nor does he even claim to know who the guy is.
My point is, this is a pretty weak “exclusive” by West - “I met a guy, who knows a guy . . .” He can do better.
He is NOT going to say
Cut him some slack. He was returning from Detroit.
I dunno - Katie Couric, who gets paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,500 an hour, would use the phrase "some say"...

Allow me to briefly point out that the government knows exactly who was in the seat on that airplane. Now, tie in the fact that the NSA has publicly come out talking about making 'connections' with 'metadata'. They know who was there. The also knows who knows who by virtue of phone and email metadata (they don't even need the actual conversations for this). They can easily connect this guy back to the originating person if he's telling the truth (i.e. that he, personally talked to the person who was on the ground). Now, we know that that guy has been positively identified within 1 minute of West posting his account.
Question for those in the audience: What is the estimated life-span of this person? Days?
Bing.bing.bing... We have a winner.....
:: West - “I met a guy, who knows a guy ::
Your skepticism is all well and good but, realize that the inner-circle of the executive office is ^exclusively^ from Chicago.
“I know a guy who knows a guy that can get that done fer youse.” is Chicago talk for “don’t ask any questions and it will be taken care of.” I’ve tread that path so many times that I don’t consider the ramifications.
Really...I spoke to a fellow who knew a guy that could get a cash-only project done at my house that would be certified-to-code by the local IBEW.
Cost? Half-off compared to going through the local contractor and union-hall. Even the union-types know capitalism is good.
