9. Its cool...
Sorry for being jumpy. I think Agent Mike installed cameras in my office this week. A little paranoid.

2. Maybe because they don't have any new information?
They don't make stuff up, you know.

7. My apologies to Raw Story
It wasnt meant as an insult as the go to the site everyday, sometimes multiple times. I wonder if i ever do any work. I'm still getting a paycheck, so I must be doing something right.

10. My theory
is that Raw Story wasn't in on the initial info about Christainne and only picked up on it when Andrea Mitchell let the cat out of the bag. I suspect they are playing "catch-up" right about now; trying to develop sources; trying to get somebody to speak "on-the-record"; basically, just running the story to ground.

There is also a possibility that Andrea let something slip that she only overheard at a cocktail party and may have no basis in fact at all.

11. because it isn't confirmed is my guess
firedog draws a certain conclusion, and it may turn out to be accurate. but it isn't based on confirmed report, it's only based on conjecture extropolated from a certain set of circumstances and yes comments made suggesting on going "inquiry" .
