Yes, I appreciate what she done in recent years. I obviously disagree with her about Russia/Russiagate. It seems ultimately incompatible with the insights she has acquired in recent years. I think that on some level she is aware of this, and that that is why she doesn't emphasize these things so much anymore.

She really blew me away. I feel like her name is russiagate coded. .

To me the renewed interest by the media in the Epstein case was a combination of the journalistic hounds smelling blood and an astute strategy to exploit Epstein , the administration’s reversal on it as a wedge issue in MAGA and use it to break the spell Trump is deemed to have over his supporters.
