The owner came to the axillary office to meet me before he went to the main office.
“Do you really think RR works with the FBI?” he asked me.
I told him what I’ve heard from numerous sources that RR is largely full of shit.
I relayed what the local assemblyman had told me about not trusting RR.
“I told her she needed to raise some of these concerns if she writes the story she intends to write,” I old the owner.
“I told her we cannot run the story without his real name being used,” the owner told me.
“Especially when it has the potential to bring down a congressman,” I said.
“Not just the big man but the little man, too,” the owner said.
“She’s naïve,” I said. “Last year, she ran a puff piece about him and never addressed any of these issues. If we don’t address them, we look like fools.”
“We’ll see what she comes up with,” the owner said. “We won’t run it before the election.”
The owner looked nervous, yet relieved. He apparently felt pressure about all of this. No doubt, he’s had conversations with her about this over the last two weeks. But he did not divulge what might have been said.
My conversation with our former temporary boss earlier in the day suggested she had not confided at all in him about some of the other aspects. She clearly did not want to divulge her close relationship with RR, which Tom had warned me about during the summer.
