    This is big. Uncomfortably big.

    She was investigating two Russian nationals involved in some pretty big fraud.

    Russia has no hard power. We know this. But they excel at the psychological game.

    She is a beautiful, white, blonde woman.

    They took advantage of “Missing White Woman Syndrome” to send a message. This is terrifying.

    The message is: “the US isn’t going to punish you. The Kremlin is.”

      Could you imagine this happening under any former US president? We say it as a joke but Reagan’s corpse is really spinning in his grave right now…

        Reagan put the corporatization (if that’s a word) and destruction of the middle class into overdrive, planting the seeds for Trump/Krasnov.

        I hope people piss on his grave while he’s rotating so all of him gets covered.

      She was investigating two Russian nationals involved in some pretty big fraud.

      The word “was” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

      Yes, she was investigating fraud, when she was a US Attorney. She resigned on Jan 20th when Trump became President.
