9. The DNC wanted Caroline in the seat for her Christmas/Chanukah card lists
She can't, ummm, like, ya know, SPEAK for shit, but she can fundraise like a champ. She's good for MILLIONS, which is why everyone in the party hierarchy was enthused about her--they saw her as a cash cow.

Now, the only issue here, really, is "Who gets the money?" With Caroline, it would have gone to the DNC. And there would have been MORE of it.

I'll have to see more proof before I buy off on a quid pro quo. Boies has been around for awhile. He's been a player for some time. And KG has been GONE from his firm for a couple of years.

I'm guessing you can play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with pretty much any appointee, if you want to.

I'm not saying it's not curious, I'm just not ready for torches and pitchforks.

And I don't think Caroline was kneecapped, I think she was a shitty, like, um, you know, choice.
