93. Well that is what is says on his transparency page.

So unless the admins are now as transparent as Clinton is with regard to her speeches for Goldman Sachs, we'll trust what public information is offered by manny's transparency page.

To the best of my knowledge, Trumad was never PPRed.	MohRokTah	Mar 2016	#18
