Has to have ties to Republicans or Huffpo would have no interest.

Yes, although it did take about 3/4 of the story for the DNC connection to be mentioned.

From the story he looked like a Dem insider.

Could have been a detriment - somehow - to the Clinton Crime Family.

Most lobbyists are bipartisan. But right now Huff has much more motivation to influence the direction of the Dem Party, and which players emerge on top, than to nip at Trump’s heels.

The sole reason to nip at Trump’s heels right now is to prove your credentials to lead the left. The leftist who can say “I made Trump fire a cabinet member” gets more points. So the goal is to chalk up the points to show others on the Left.

Trump just happens to be the symbol.

I wonder if the author is related to notorious anti-semite Sid Blumenthal.

Morris had gotten his start in D.C. at 18 as a gopher in the Clinton White House.

Verrry interesting.

The head of Genentech security at the time was Hamilton Mixon, a 3-times married ex New Orleans PD Captain.

That’s probably a huge resume enhancement for corporate security and if you need some dirty work done.

That’s probably not what happened here, but I still find this suicide pretty interesting.

Appears to have been a Democrat, including hosting a fundraiser for McAwful.

If there is that connection then there is a question about the nature of the “suicide.”
