Lighting someone’s hair on fire tends to take their focus away from anything else going on. The tendency is to deal with the crisis at hand and focus on it until it is resolved—particularly if there is something going on that you want to ignore. In my opinion, the recent dust-up over the Epstein Files was designed to distract from the information political insiders knew was coming.

The mainstream media’s reaction to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of records regarding the 2016+ Russia Hoax has been interesting. Most of the media has ignored it. The media that has reported it (MSNBC for example posted the headline, “DNI Gabbard concocts odd ‘treasonous conspiracy’ theory, eyes Russia probe prosecutions,”) has simply denied that there is any substance to the charges against President Obama and his cadre. However, the CYA memo by Susan Rice on January 20 gives credence to the idea that something that was at least questionable was afoot. The subject of the memorandum that was released by the Director of National Intelligence is titled, “Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing “Russian and criminal actors did not impact” the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure.” This is not news to anyone who has done their own research in recent years.

Bill Still, of The Still Report videos on YouTube, is a retired newspaper editor and publisher. He reported on Hillary Clinton’s behavior after the September 7, 2016, debate where moderator Matt Laurer asked her a question that had not been previously submitted to her. Bill Still reports that she went into a screaming fit and yelled that she’d get that f*****g Lauer fired for this. Referring to Donald Trump, Clinton said, ”If that f*****g bastard wins, we all hang from nooses! Lauer’s finished, and if I lose, it’s all on your heads for screwing this up.” People don’t hang for losing elections. (source here) That quote also gives credence to what is revealed in the Director of National Intelligence Memorandum.

It will be interesting to see how much of the media is willing to cover this story accurately and to see where the story leads. This is a scandal, and it remains to be seen whether or not the Democrats and the mainstream media can successfully make it go away.
