I Don't Trust CNN, But Dana Bash Has Staked Her Entire Reputation On The Line, Possibly Even Career

12. For sure

When you are in the business of flipping companies like Mitt was and making absurd amounts of money in a short period of time, that money has to come from somewhere. In most cases, it wasn't like Mitt built these things up from the ground and nurtured them into being valuable for 10-20 years. This was largely hit and run transactions with slight of management hand. Sometimes, that money came at the expense of workers or the government. And sometimes, someone else wound up with the short end of the money stick - maybe the guy Mitt fleeced when he bought a shell of a company from Mitt that Mitt represented was a good company (even though he'd ripped the core out of it to fabricate a healthy bottom line that would fizzle in the coming years without the core).

There would likely be some people who really hate Mitt's guts for cleaning them out because it is a pretty heartless and cutthroat business. Maybe one of those victims or someone who witnessed behavior that turned their stomach when they considered the how badly the victims lost to fund Mitt's Swiss bank account is talking to Harry Reid. If Mitt really cleaned them out, maybe at this point they have little to lose.

Something like that wouldn't surprise me in the least.
