Why do I still believe this assessment of the situation to be totally improbable?
Because how much credibility does it really imply?
Right. Like these highly political, self-absorbed guys (& gals) don’t gossip about each other INCESSANTLY - and exchange breathless emails & phone calls, when one says to several others, “I want 50K dollars for this f’ing appt.”
OF COURSE THEY DO.
OF COURSE BO AND HIS CRONIES KNEW ABOUT THESE DISCUSSIONS/OFFERS.
