What difference at this point does it make?
IMO, there are three ways to view this:
- DEI aided incompetence
- deliberate benign neglect of best security practices
- an outright assassination plot with government involvement.
The powers that be would have us believe in choice #1, and that they'll do a better job going forward.
Personally, I'm somewhere between choice 1 and 2 at the moment, given what I've read, and allowing for the distortion and promotion of different narratives. #3 is not out of the question, but I doubt it happened here... Crooks was too unstable and unprofessional to trust with the job.
