Whoa - it was the Globe that first learned about Patrick's brother-in-law?

Dan Kennedy tells us what we know at the moment on the Patrick brother-in-law story: The Herald claims the state started looking into it after the Globe called, but then the Globe didn't think there was a story, so somebody dropped a dime to the Herald, which, of course, felt it was vital for voters to know about something that Patrick had nothing to do with.

The Healey campaign, of course, is just shocked that anybody would think it had anything to do with the affair.
