Hannity has a bad habit of encapsulating the answer he wants in the question he asks.
The same way Linda Tripp fixed things, LOL. The names he had redacted were his sources, what he referred to as trusted sources. You could be right that some of them are Cliunton operatives or victims, but the article still makes numerous allegations, including Brit Hume being bought off.
Good summary. Brit Hume was contacted to soften ABC reporting on travelgate.
Morning.
I went down hard @ 1:30.
Reading it with my second cuppa coffee.
Thank you.
Fixit Story Bump: See post #114.
He said his purported reason for coming out was to “balance the playing field” and take sexual indiscretion off the table, as this election was about more important things.
But I’m not buying that, at least as a sole reason. Some other posters have hinted at such motives, as well. Here is my take on what happened...
He was a fixer all those years and my take is that he continues to this day to be a fixer, and was engaged in that activity the past few days, except that his client is not Hillary at the moment.
He said that the Nat. Enq. had the story ready to go from other sources, and it wasn’t clear if they approached him or he approached them to collaborate. He said he agreed to get involved in order to: 1) remove factual inaccuracies from the article by comparing with his notes and 2) to get Nat. Enq to remove the names of several people from the article (confidential sources, etc., he said), in return for his cooperation.
It seems to me his client is one of the names that was removed from the original Nat. Enq story. Who might that be?
We all suspect that there are larger forces (whether national or criminal) involved in getting blackmail-able material on public officials whenever possible. I even read somewhere (perhaps conspiracy theory) that the Epstein sex island that Bill Clinton has visited 27 times is an Israeli operation.
Imagine if the Nat. Enq. story mentioned a facilitator by name...one who did not wish to be compromised in his activities of corrupting public officials. In comes Mr. Fixer to negotiate his client’s removal from the story, in return for positive corroboration of the Nat. Eq. story.
What other secondary motives could be at work? As he said, his desire was to remove sex as a campaign story altogether...such an outcome certainly would help his shadowy client from discovery. It would also preserve blackmail material on Hillary to be used later. Perhaps having him go public as Mr. Fixit also sends an implicit message directly to Hillary: drop the sex accusations against Trump, or we have the power to destroy you... not because they care about Trump, but because the client doesn’t want probing eyes into his connection.
All in all, I found the interview very interesting... but no immediate smoking gun, as was hoped for by many.
He is also intelligent, and his motive for protecting sources or clients may be longer term, not hired or paid for directly.
I think the story, in combination with Trump's denials, will have the effect of moving on to a new manufactured issue. The shady world of sex and blackmail that drives a good part of our entertainment and political circles will continue status quo.
Most interesting.
