but this does, as a factor. His close ties w/ organized crime in NYC, Putin, Russian mafia. Trump is so easily used and manipulated, so vacant it's terrifying.

the sexism is so blatant. Michael Moore speaks of this so clearly. Have you downloaded his movie?

I was referring to some sort of political power structure that wants to down Clinton. Even more that the ones that dogged her for the last 30 years. Comey may be a part of that. And to take off my tin foil hat in order to make sense of all this.

Strange this awful negative power struggle. Worst that I have ever seen.

There's been several pieces written on this.

I haven't seen Moore's Trump movie, but I get enough Trump stuff as it is. Don't need to go out of my way for it.

and megamillionaires, the hidden "dark money" people who started working in the 1970s to reshape the government to suit them, right? Over 700 alone gathered in alarm to fight the Democrats when Obama was sworn in, lead by Charles Koch, and that group's not exactly the only one, just the biggest. Alarmed because they'd made great progress over 30 years and expected to take over the Supreme Court and really change the laws that obstructed their plans. They knww the Democrats will stop them unless they can get us out of power again.

Elections at every single level, including judiciary, are only one weapon. They've also spent billions corrupting our universities, endowing special schools to teach their ideology, and set up fake non-profit institutions to, among many other things, create the Tea Party movement that took over congress and many statement governments with anti-government, anti-tax, pro-government-transfer-of-wealth-upward ideologues. Graduate adherents of their ideology have been hired into corporate and government offices around the nation.

Including the FBI. I heard one of Comey's colleagues agree with someone else today that he seems to have "lost control of his house."
