      Yeah, seems like a pretty big oversight for the author… [Checks byline]… no author credited.

      Great. Very real. Much news.

      This is the correct assessment. Name the agent and lay out the grooming, and now you have a story.

        He has already been arrested for this, so finding out his identity shouldnt be hard. It wouldnt add anything to the story anyways. More details about how, who and when would be nice tho.

        We waited for 30 years to know who Deep Throat was. Does that mean Woodward and Bernstein were full of shit?
