10. A good article -- except these paragraphs at the end made no sense.

The last time I heard from Bobby, it was after midnight on Election Day 2016. “Greg, what happened? When my plane left JFK, Hillary had won. I’ve landed in LA and Trump won. What happened?”

What happened? Bobby, WE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT IT. I had re-issued an updated version of my book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, which included his intro and a chapter he’d written. The book, which was on the Times bestseller list, detailed exactly how Trump would take the election from Hillary through vote suppression trickery in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Did he forget his own book?



Bobby couldn't have asked him the question in November 2016. Did Palast mean November 2020?
