talk to this guy...

What is known is that the Daily Beast is a Leftist rag. Not exactly an objective news source.
But if they're going to run a story, they should either run the story with the names of their sources or don't publish. What they have reported is no more than unclaimed gossip.
No one believes them when their source is a guy in trench coat with his hat pulled down to disguise his face, smoking a fag under the nearest streetlamp.
