Do you think they are paying anyone for the Cruz story?
Absolutely.
Full disclosure. I think it works similar to the tips for outing the Hollywood stars. They pay tips for leads ($20-$100) for people in the service industry- Limo & taxi drivers, concierge, hotel desk clerks, hairdressers, fitness trainers, medical staff,and people who work security detail. When a participant sells her or his actual story, the price would vary greatly on how close the cheater was to the winning the election.
They likely scan every person who wants to be potus and they decide whose ripe to follow. And if the affair isn’t current, the trail is narrow. They comb through political gossip sites and put feelers out. Given Bill’s reputation in Arkansas, its truly amazing that he was never caught. I can’t imagine they were not able to find a story while he was campaigning. That’s truly a wasted opportunity of a target rich environment.
