74. Juicy rumor but no proofs as yet, confusion has this as 2 different addresses on the same street.

No straight remarks about Rubio's involvement in the purchase. Lots of speculation that she must have had help to buy it and that the records of purchase are being hidden. County records do not show the house as sold, yet. No "reliable news source" has commented, yet.

If she is or was a health care lobbyist why would she need help to buy a house? Why would Rubio or his close associates do something like this so close to the election? Even if they did it at arm's length it would be very hard to hide and the blow-back would be dangerous, not just embarrassing.
