Notice nothing came of the John Burton opposition research scare https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/a-former-obama-operative-built-a-new-anti-republican-attack-machine If he dropped his mountain of embarrassing info on Republicans I never heard of it. My theory is his info came from FANG(facebook amazon netflix google) and the higher ups realized this would only reveal their complicity and political interference. So they killed it. Or it was a hoax all along. Maybe he was just claiming to have the dirt to get more donations from gullible democrats. Either way nothing came of it.
