    So the intelligence officials that investigated and found no evidence of wrong doing, are now losing their clearances for putting themselves over their country? What the fuck is she even implying?

    A person could be forgiven for assuming they sandbagged the investigation.

      She’s implying that the desired outcome was not reached, and that the people who relied on facts, instead of shaping and/or manufacturing data to present the desired outcome, are being sacked.

      It’s funny how much conservatives like to bitch about “communism” when this is literally a tactic out of the Stalinist playbook - prioritization of ideological and political purity and dogma over data and facts. Works “fine” for the people in power for a while, but eventually, the wheels fall off. And we’re also seeing that here and now with our (that is, the US) government.
