Obama officials never claimed infrastructure attacks changed votes or hacked infrastructure at scale. Taibbi, continues to shown us he’s become state propagandist for the Trump administration, blithely being led down another Trump vendetta-laced rabbit hole. Trump CIA director John Ratcliffe contradicted Gabbard recently when he praised the original intelligence assessment concerning Russiagate that she is now trying to rewrite. Even the National Review is mocking this silly rehashing of old slop.

I am finding it increasingly more difficult to listen to these one-sided arguments. Focusing on why Stephen Colbert is taken off the air, and making comments about Hakeem Jefferies getting a blowjob on TV, when Trump is desiring them every day, including from 12-year-old girls, allegedly, while complaining they don’t “perform well“. And wasn’t it Trump who gave a blowjob to his microphone at a campaign rally just before the election? Get a grip fellas. I know you think these are all conjured up attacks by the left, but is it possible that this is really who Trump is? While Russiagate does lose a lot of credibility in my mind as well, especially about motive, it doesn’t mean Trump is the good guy and Russia was not involved, merely they didn’t change the voting machines or control results. Not to mention does it now become the blanket template for everything else? The Trump administrations adamancy and desire to control the release of the Epstein files in and of itself should show that Trump is really not interested in dismantling the deep state at all. Is it just me, or does this show seem to be lacking the balanced nuance it once had?

Quite the eye-opening episode. Thank you both for your continued coverage of what others call a nothing burger. You are right on and this stray thread will lead to much more. I'm staying tuned.
