Don't you think they'd want to protect a RINO source as long as possible?
Don't you think they'd want to link the "source" of the story as close as they could to Cain or his associates to give it verisimilitude?
I mean, they may be slime, but they're more savvy than Perrywinkles ("more dirt is coming down the pike on Cain").
Cheers!
Amazing the people that want to blame this on Perry based on nothing at all, but want to ignore what was previously said.
