Today’s whopper of a Russiagate reveal from Intel Director Tulsi Gabbard is like spending 10 years trapped in Alice’s Wonderland, only to wake up and discover that you’re still there.
Gabbard unleashed a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in our 2016 election, including evidence that then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton suffered “psycho-emotional problems” and that Russian intelligence possessed internal DNC communications describing Clinton’s issues as including “uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and even cheerfulness.”
Do you doubt the Russian assessment?
Most people don’t know that cheerfulness is a “psycho-emotional problem,” but then, most people don’t have access to Clinton’s pharmacist.
I trust that one of my PJ Media colleagues will do the full writeup of the Clinton story, but I’d like to give you a chance to step back and look at the bigger picture — because Wonderland is even weirder than Lewis Carroll imagined.
With Gabbard’s one big email reveal after another, it’s safe to conclude that not only are Swamp creatures just as conniving as you’d dared to imagine, they’re even stupider than you might have thought.
And Another Thing: Gabbard seems to be on the outs with the Trump administration on Iran policy, and perhaps increasingly on Russia policy, too — as I reported a while back, at least on the Iran angle. But can you imagine anyone else doing the Deep State cleanup job she’s doing right now? She’s a woman scorned by her old party, sure, but more importantly, she’s sharp and fearless, too.
A name you know — I won’t say who — many years ago advised that whenever you need to discuss something important that could be misconstrued by people out to get you, always do it over the phone. Never, they told me, put it in an email or a text message. They warned me never to put anything sensitive in writing — no emails, no texts. Paper trails get people burned. And if what you’re discussing wouldn’t need to be twisted to land you in hot water? All the more reason to keep it off the record.
Heh.
Going a bit further, anybody who’s ever watched a mobster movie knows that even over the phone, it’s best to speak in code.
