“I get the feeling that Lardass was PERSONALLY at that meeting, and Q has told us that. We have everything.”
HRC being absent from the public because she was plotting with the traitors is most logical. I agree. The drunken rage story sounds possible therefore a good cover.
Both are possible.
I see her backstage at her "victory party" slowly knowing she lost, drinking heavily, and finally combusting into a fit of rage.
Then she tells Podesta, "F this. I ain't conceding. You talk to them. I got somewhere to be".
Then she wobbles off to the flying monkey meeting to plot her wevenge.
Remember, she's a psycho.
