The Associated Press “wire” is a continuous virtual meeting of all of major US journalism. What does that mean?People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of NationsIt means that major US journalism has been in a conspiracy against the public since the memory of living man runneth not to the contrary (the AP dates back before the Civil War).What does that “conspiracy” do? It homogenizes journalism compeletely such that if you’ve seen one report on an event, you’ve seen them all. It assures that journalists actually believe that they are objective - even as they know that they are negative towards American society. To think that conventional negative reporting is “objective” is absurd: “the conceit that negativity is objectivity” is a very serviceable definition of cynicism.
Cynicism towards society corresponds to faith in government - a combination which is a good description of socialism. Thus, journalism as we know it is socialist propaganda. Inherently.
THIS time, I think there will be some consequences for the Clintons .... not quite sure what yet, but it seems to me the ‘worm has turned’, or is surely in the process of it, where the Clintons are concerned.
IF the Clinton Foundation can be taken away from them (and it shouldn’t be that hard if you read anything Charles Ortel has to say about it), that would cause them some real issues, a decline in their “lifestyles of the rich & famous” being the least of them.
I suspect you’re right.
One thing I would mention is that for the last 25 years, there has been talk of offshore accounts.
People earning the type of money they did, should not have been able to attain hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth legally.
I don’t think a hack occurred at all. I think it was part of the narrative to cast doubt among the electorate. I believe it was a completely fabricated story to run tandem with the collusion. OR if a hack did occur it wasn’t done by the Russians. It was accomplished either by WIKILEAKS or internal. Not yet has there been any evidence produced that shows Russian hacking. Only the words of the deep state intelligence that have ever pointed to Russian hacking. The same intelligence that are also part of the same coup.
for later
Pat may be a Republican by now...I hope!
Why Pat Caddell was ever a liberal or a Democrat I don’t know. I’ve never heard him say why. But he is and always has been a Constitutionalist. I’m sure he sees that the Dems abandoned that a long time ago. Maybe it’s pride, doesn’t want to be seen as having been wrong, or maybe he just figures that being the Democrat contrarian is his best bet for continued employment. Dunno!
The battle still rages but Trump is winning.
One must note that in Germany Hitler won his election. He then transformed the powers of the state into a tyrannical central government. Obama almost succeeded. If Hillary had of won the transformation would have been complete an our nation destroyed as a democratic Republic. Pure democracy always fails and degenrates into tyranny. That is why we are a Republic and not a pure democracy.
That internal may have very well been Seth Rich. Instead of the DNC admitting it was an inside job, which would have made them look really bad, they invented the Russians hacked them narrative.

Complete financial destruction of those involved and public hangings should be the final chapter in this nightmare.
“Keep getting texts from non-political-junkie friends that HRC was indicted under Espionage Act.”
While you, I, and everyone know that prison is well warranted for HRC and those Above and below her; unfortunately, will happen when porcine, bovine, equine, canine, feline, etc ... fill the sky.
I'm sure they did not want to upset her since her health was fluctuant.
Besides, no need to. Hillary was going to win so it wouldn't be needed. Or they were keeping their powder dry until they needed it.
I ask the question, if it has taken this long for authorities in the federal government to just now be getting to the bottom of the dossier, how do they expect us to think they can accomplish anything else?
We these the journalist paid by the distributor of the dossier?

I’m betting a lot of money was spread around the news readers.
Hopfully names will come out og GPS FUSION bank records.
Falsifying bank records is a felony, so good chance the bankers don’t want to be charged

Privately she tells people she's this close to leaving the country.
.... this close.
I thought she was in the midst of saying,...
“Well last time I saw it over 30 years ago in Arkansas, it was about half this long, and then it hooked Left.”
“Thank goodness Web Hubble was able to help out a little.”
