I’m reminded of the Bernie Madoff scam. His elite investors wanted to believe that he was making brilliant investment decisions based on insider information, but were suckered into a Ponzi scheme.

If a half-dozen former Cabinet officials and agency heads were softheaded enough to be bamboozled by Elizabeth Holmes, then why should competence be expected in any other endeavor?

Well look at what the deep state gave us. Our present mess did not start because Biden was elected. It started because Biden being elected allowed them to start doing what they were going to do all along until this Huuuge Orange Interruption happened.

Trump was an inexperienced fool for hiring Mattis.

I'm not seeing that at all.

Trump had an extremely limited pool of people to choose from [considering that the Brandon Media had given full warning that they would personally destroy anyone daring to work for Trump], and he had positions to fill.

The Brandon Media wasn't going to destroy Mattis because he is a Demoscat.

We on the outside have NO idea of the inner mechanics of the hiring processes of the Trump administration - but I can guess from what is visible.

Well, we don't really know exactly what went on behind the scenes of Theranos and exactly how and at which points investors were duped.

On top of that, this girl ran a very clever con for a kid.

She'll either try another big con or she will set up a company advising venture capital firms how not to get conned. Or both.

And then there are the book deals.

You can say that about virtually all of Trump's hires and nominations. I don't know how any of his business ventures survived his disastrous inability to identify and hire anyone who wasn't a strait up fraud.

I always presumed it was just Beattie. I mean, how much work is there in a link or two a day and roughly one article a week?

This happens on a massive scale (for less money per individual) across corporate America - forcing the politically correct number (and then some) into positions for which they aren’t qualified and ignoring the resulting non-performance.

Affirmative action exists to pretend assimilation into all levels of the workforce is working; it isn’t, and real workers stand to make good money with better job security while we play out this charade.

“The wonderful thing about the way I was raised is that no one ever told me that I couldn’t do those things,”

Those “ things” being fraud.

I think I see the problem.

Right; like Bernie Madoff, she’s going down. If she’d just ripped off taxpayers, she’d skate...

Even worse, with Madoff alarms that were sounded were ignored.

At least Madoff got to see his seed wiped from the Earth before dying...
