132. Looks like a trap, sounds like a trap, smells like a trap

Until we have really solid evidence in front of us, I have to assume this is at best a distraction. It could easily ruin the Harris/Walz campaign if they promoted such a story on the grounds of what turned out to be fake evidence.

Think about it: do you have too short a list of examples of TSF's "campaign-ending" repulsive, creepy, and criminal behavior? So short that you're inclined to go out on a limb to add another? Also, consider the source -- one of TSF's big donor families.

You don't have to take the bait. If it's real, it won't be prosecuted until next year, if at all. Let this one marinate for a week, come back to it later.
