This seems likely. But Hillary can just make that allegation in full, instead of being coy about it and offering nothing. Its accuracy would well be damning, in all the right directions. Instead she has made it into a game. "Figure out who I'm talking about and why it might be relevant."

By not doing that, Hillary is elevating the seeds of division and chaos. Why does their primary target of 2016 play right into their hands?

Didn't we ask Hillary to go away? She is playing to her own base for reasons only clear to herself. I guess she's trying to dump the guilt..? Tulsi has a legitimate POV which ideally would be discussed. She stands opposite the Neo-cons, making her only as extreme as the folks this country was comfortable supporting after 9/11. I think she'd go too far but I like that someone is at least talking about our place in the world.

Like she gives a flip. She wants her job. She's been denied twice. Heads need to roll. And they will when she wins in 20.

Hillary is apparently a Russian asset.
