Wait, I thought she was just more leftist-than-thou. So leftist that all of us “centrists” just couldn’t understand and any Russian affiliations she might have were entirely illusory.
I think you’ll find Trump’s cabinet should he take power will be full of people who wouldn’t pass the background check to be a janitor at the Pentagon.
