What that means is anyone's guess. They may be afraid that someone will commit libel. They may be afraid that someone will use a racial slur that could be used to tar them (look at how Corsi got clobbered). It could be that they want to keep some details secret until they sort out the evidence. Or it may be something else. Keep in mind that O'Neill is a very successful litigator, and that the forces of darkness have their shock troops ready to pounce on the slightest oops. For that matter, the media is ready for that too - if they can bring the story out in the context of a SBVT scandal (or "appearance of impropriety") they will. These guys are effectively at war with the Democratic Party and all the various rich turkeys that are associated with them. They have to be very, very careful.

I don’t blame them for letting Cap’n Ed take over, though I’m going to contact a few reporters myself and see if they can put some firepower onto it.

This thing could be very interesting.

In this case? Probably.
