This May 16, 2016, quote from Nancy Pelosi has haunted me:
“Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.”
All these years, I’ve wondered, how could she be so certain? This wasn’t just the usual campaign hyperbole. Her phrasing was a simple noun-verb construction, nakedly declarative, and absolutely certain. She left herself absolutely no wiggle room for later, just in case. Seasoned politicians don’t do that sort of thing typically, and Nancy Pelosi is most definitely seasoned. So why?? Why do it?
We may have gotten our answer.
The long-classified annex from the Durham report was declassified this Thursday. What it tells us is that the clock, as it were, on when the organizational malfeasance — the coup — against Donald Trump began may have to be ratcheted back months.
Down at the bottom of the now-declassified page in this X post is a paragraph from hacked emails the Russians had exfiltrated in March of 2016:
…The Clinton staff, with support from special services is preparing scandalous revelations of business relations between Trump and ‘The Russian Mafia.’ Currently, they are studying his connections…
Ironically, these are the first actual Russian-hacked emails we have proof of after all these years! As you may recall, the DNC “hack” has never been proven, as the FBI has never examined the hard drives.
The internet is now speculating what “special services” means, but I know what I read it to mean, in the context (you’ll see it in a moment) of the entire document: the FBI.
Now, where did this information come from? Whose hacked email are we talking about?
