It sounds like they hired some magazine crews, the scumbags that entrap teens into door-knocking for subscription sales. The tactics of withholding food, lodging, and pay are well documented in that kind of scam.

Buddy, I’m not the one trying to convince anybody of anything. All I did was read your comment, then read the article you linked to justify your comment and saw that it just paraphrased the campaign flack. You’re the one in here hollering around about how Stein isn’t a transparent plant. If you think it’s not obvious to any serious person, okay, cool. Enjoy that.

That article just says that the Stein campaign denies it. There’s no substantive investigation documented here, just statements from Stein and the campaign itself. This is just a denial, not a debunking.
