Dan Clark is the perfect example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This will be my lone optimistic post for the year, but Vassegh would have far less incentive to plant a story than Clark would have (Clark might not know he was being used if he's wrong). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
