According to the chans, it has apparently been validated that Hobbs had a bunch of mortgages from sham companies. But I have not seen anything that would prove as much…only that they claim that it checks out. Still, something seems incredibly strange here.

The first thing that stinks bad to me is the whole origin of the story. It comes from a lawyer that stuck his dick in crazy, then suffered predictable consequences. Although perhaps the consequences were far more extreme than normal. It’s a really odd origin to me. Doesn’t mean its bogus, but gives me pause.

How did this story end up in the legislature? Something like this can’t really be a surprise to the members, can it? Wouldn’t you think that some of the compromised would be sure to torpedo this kind of testimony? That part stinks too.

Maybe I am off base on this, but it also seems like this is not the full story either. Like as in they have not completed investigating any of this. Why do you go public when you haven’t got all your ducks in a row? Seems like a recipe to make it harder to keep digging when they are aware of being outed. Wouldn’t surprise me if all of a sudden some kind of extra gatekeeping is quickly rolled out into the AZ public records system to keep you from being able to pull records from wherever there is an internet connection.

It seems like this story, if true, would have far bigger legs than it does. Sure, we see some twitter keywords trending. But not in numbers that you’d expect for such a story. Beyond TGP, I haven’t seen any other publications write about this story. Except for some that are questionably lower credibility than even TGP.

Are the allegations believable? Yes. But its still a pretty big leap for most, even among us here who are used to all sorts of crazy sounding stuff being true. I don’t know where I stand on this. I’m inherently skeptical of most things; this one is giving me some red flags.

What say all of you?
