Glad to help.

The problem I have seen with all of this is...there are a lot of names. A LOT of names, and a lot of different jobs...and these names twine and intertwine to the point that WE are going to have a problem finding a way to get people to understand this enough to care.

Dan Bongino keeps saying “Remember the names!” because that is the key to understanding this, IMO.

Everyone who paid attention understands what “Whitewater” was as it relates to Hillary back in her Rose Law Firm days. Because you had to pay attention, you could follow it, and it was apparent to even the dullest knife that laws were broken and there was corruption.

The problem was threefold: The evidence was not able to be presented in an easy to understand format, the politicians were not interested in pushing it, and the media was not interested in pushing it. As a result, there were few convictions, and the main beneficiaries got off scot free.

(It should sound familiar, because that is the situation we are facing today)

In this case, the evidence is very difficult for many people who are vaguely interested to follow. Their eyes glaze over. When you start saying names like Oleg Deripaska and Victor Pinchuk, Alexander Downer, and Lisa Monaco, people start to get that wandering look in their eyes as if they spotted a pillow somewhere waiting for their head to drop on it. (If you can’t wrap it up in a Photoshop meme these days, it is hard to get traction)

The politicians are generally not interested in this (Except as a tool to impede the ability of Trump to do his job) because, after all, it is a giant Gravy Train they are all riding on. They go into politics worth a little bit, and they come out of politics years later with a 10 fold increase in personal wealth. Gee, how does that happen?

And the Media? Those of us who were alive for both Watergate and Iran Contra remember the wall-to-wall coverage in an attempt to bring down non-Democrat administrations. In this case, there is far, FAR more evidence of terrible abuse of government institutions, and the media only covers the minimum they have to so they can wear their Kabuki mask of impartiality (which we all see as a Kabuki Mask) They won’t cover this until people start being taken away in handcuffs, and even then they will cling to “Russian Collusion”.

Anyway, these links have been invaluable to me. And as Dan Bongino likes to point out, they aren’t all from Breitbart. They are from the New York Times, Politico, etc. so there is the added satisfaction of using their own words and sources against them.

>> they will cling to “Russian Collusion”

Hahaha! Because that is really all they’ve got left to cling to. (Me, I’m still a bitter clinger to guns and religion.)

Great analysis in 262. Very helpful to me. Most of those names are new to me, but I’m trying not to let my eyes glaze over. (I was proud of myself to recognize “Kimba Wood” when that popped onto the radar yesterday. I even remembered who she was!. [pats self on back])

The Gravy Train was a huge issue for me, long before Q/Trump. I never understood why people didn’t see that.

Best regards,
g
