...however, it still remains an interesting story given his line of work.

Hillary needs to be locked up as a matter of public safety. A lot of lives could be saved if she’s out of commission.

There seems to be a great miasma of wickedness about her.

This reminds me of a CIA retiree who took a canoe out on the Potomac.

It’s the harbor in the Washington Channel, which is between the original Potomac shoreline and the filled in land that created East Potomac Park.

“Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State... also has jurisdiction over classified communications, such as secure email and other platforms.”

Well that little tidbit kind of gets your attention.

If they could spill Hillary’s beans, her goons (fleshly or demonic) aim to spill their guts....

Sounds like a good job for someone to have seen something or done something that could get them in trouble.

One day I would like to see Hillary go down. I know it will probably never happen, but it is my wish.

600 Water Street S.W. — the SW waterfront is currently DC’s biggest reconstruction zone. For the last couple of years, it’s been a mess with demolitions and new buildings going up. The earlybirds have already scored the bargains, and a formerly rather rundown area along the Washington Channel is emerging as a very hot mixed-use area. 600 Water Street is in the marina area and close to one of the dinner cruise boat locations. If Smolek was a kayaker or boater, there would be a natural reason he’d be in the water. The story gives the 600 Water Street block as the place he was last seen. It doesn’t say how far downstream the body was found.

“I wonder what he knew about Clinton?”.....

Obviously more than enough to get himself removed from his duties. Amazing how many people who have even been near to or around the Clintons have died mysteriously. Simply amazing.

I live here. Like anywhere else, people do not just fall into the river. Did he stumble in after an all night drinking binge? Hard to imagine but what else could have happened?
