What I see happening is rMoney will produce the real document as the OP is saying madokie Aug 2012 #49

The tax return story will be secondary to the fake return story. Blanks Aug 2012 #75
From what I recall, the substance of the Killian memo was disputed - it was the only story aint_no_life_nowhere Aug 2012 #78
Yeah, that's how I remember it now that you point it out. Blanks Aug 2012 #89

Somehow, I'm not sure I can disagree with most of this. AverageJoe90 Jul 2012 #25
RMoney had plenty of help bluescribbler Aug 2012 #55
They were not ready in 2008, either. See the pattern? randome Aug 2012 #56
