If hildebeast can get $8million for a work of fiction I fail to see what right anyone has to complain about this payment.

I don't begrudge this guy a dime of it. If he'd have been caught doing what he did, he'd have hanging from a meathook.

Why would anyone pay $500,000+ for this report?
To: bruinbirdman
He better have received something from the government as well. Let us always help those who help us, and let those who oppose us beware.
If we're going to be an empire, we should at least do it right!

More like he would be watching his wife and daughter be hung from meat hooks.....THAT is what impressed me about this guy from the beginning.
One thing to risk yourself, another to risk everything.

He did, he lives here now and that is proper for the risk he took. I'm glad he'll have some cash to start his life here. I'm also very happy that cash came from the private sector.

$500,00? That means he's rich! Tax him! Tax him quick! Tax him! Tax him! For the good of the children! Tax him!

What he has to say is better than whatever Bj and Hillary ever have someone else write for them.
The US showed their appreciation for saving PFC Lynch by bringing him and his family to America. He has a job. Someone offered him money for his story and he took it. This sounds like an American success story to me.

And the Hollywood skanks will pay him two million for some PC movie they are going to put out. He'll be living in Hollywood by Christmas......
To: bruinbirdman
He's earned very penny, and then some. Many of our own home grown liberals would not have exhibited the courage that this man did.
