In my opinion, the recent dust-up over the Epstein Files was designed to distract from the information political insiders knew was coming.<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media\u2019s reaction to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard\u2019s declassification of records regarding the 2016+ Russia Hoax has been interesting. Most of the media has ignored it. The media that has reported it (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow-show\/maddowblog\/dni-gabbard-concocts-odd-treasonous-conspiracy-theory-eyes-russia-prob-rcna219985\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSNBC<\/a> for example posted the headline, \u201cDNI Gabbard concocts odd \u2018treasonous conspiracy\u2019 theory, eyes Russia probe prosecutions,\u201d) has simply denied that there is any substance to the charges against President Obama and his cadre.

He reported on Hillary Clinton\u2019s 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\u2019d get that f*****g Lauer fired for this.\u00a0Referring to Donald Trump, Clinton said, \u201dIf that f*****g bastard wins, we all hang from nooses<strong>!\u00a0<\/strong>Lauer\u2019s finished, and if I lose, it\u2019s all on your heads for screwing this up.\u201d People don\u2019t hang for losing elections.
