    If the debt up and mysteriously disappeared it would mean persons unknown paid it.

        If the debt mysteriously vanished? No way to know unless you subpoened the banks or something.

            The point is any political candidate with massive debt needs to have their finances watched carefully just in case that debt disappears.

            Then there needs to be an investigation into who, exactly, just bought that candidate.

            See:

            https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-supreme-court-judge-brett-kavanaughs-100k-debt-disappear-1785043

            “In 2016, Kavanaugh reported in a financial disclosure owing between $60,004 and $200,000 in credit card and loan debt. But, as reported by Mother Jones, when he was nominated to the Supreme Court that debt had gone.”

            Who paid it? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

              but the biden/obama/clinton/pelosi/schiff family wealth needs no investigation?

              it’s not just debts. it’s any money.

              maybe i’m naive, but i don’t believe you could buy cornel west. i would doubt mysef if he wins the green nomination, drops out, and backs biden. i don’t know anything else that might shake my faith is his character.

                I never said family wealth needs no investigation, I said massive debt which is mysteriously paid off needs investigation.

                  meh. i don’t think it’s worth the energy of even saying “there ought to be an investigation” of any of them, myself. i’m saying that you’re looking at the wrong person to start hunting out corruption.

                    It’s not about Doctor West, it’s about ANYONE in massive debt seeking public office.
