And there's no way to judge how much his story is just right wing mud, or whether there's truth in any of it.

And this seems fair to you?

How is any First Family supposed to let the Secret Service close enough to guard them, knowing that any one of them could turn around and try to write a lurid, fiction filled best seller, based on their work in the S.S.? How is any First Family supposed to defend themselves from this kind of attack?

Shame on anyone who helps to lob these "bombshells" on a Democratic site.
