I find it hard to believe the "fairy tale" about Clinton calling up $500 million in hundred-dollar bills - without it being detected somewhere along the line by someone or some agency. AND if you can't vouch for its veracity, why are you publishing it, Greg? That's the piece of it I really don't get. Everything I've read by you - so far - has been, far as I can tell, thoroughly vetted. Otherwise, why would YOU want to put your name on the line. Because for me, you have done that. Even in hundreds, $500 million in cash takes up a lot of space and weight - to move around, to handle, and package. So One Million Dollars equals 10,000 $100 bills, weighing 17 pounds. Times 500? In pounds = 8,500. Pretty bulky. Or maybe 500 briefcases? Oh, that's not "noticeable" at all, right?
Seriously, Greg, if you want just ONE of your readers to believe this fable, sell it to me. At this point, I'm not buying. I need you to explain this to me, why you believe it, or I'm questioning my stupid little $5 subscription. A nothingburger. But your credibility is on the line. - Dana Bennett, Denver, CO
Welp, call me jaded, but I'd have no trouble at all believing that Sheldon Adelson, the Koch Bro (singular), The Mercers, and/or their ilk would crackle up a billion George's to fix an election in their favor. Which leads me to wonder who on the blue side had a half-bil in spare cash & an incentive 24 years ago? Inasmuch as I truly believe Republicans (especially ReTHUGlikkkans) are way more corrupt way more often than Democrats, there's been occasional dirty pool during election cycles on both sides since our country's inception. It slapped me in the face when viewing the movie "Lincoln." I became aware in my 30's that John F. Kennedy's father, Joe, fixed (or attempted to fix) at least one election in his son's favor.

To iMischa - Sorry you feel that way. I was writing to Greg and he answered me quite fully and respectfully.
