Remember way back in 2016, when Republicans believed that a presidential candidate who incidentally possessed classified information without authorization should be excluded from office? And they weren’t even nuclear secrets? Ah, those were the days when all that would happen to such an offender, according to Republicans, would be instant imprisonment: “Lock [them] up!” they chanted.
One of the key FBI officials involved in overseeing the case, former FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano, 62, dropped dead of a heart attack at his home in Decatur, Georgia over the weekend, adding another name to Infamous(ly Idiotic) Clinton Body Count. According to the Washington Post, Giuliano reported progress on the hard drive investigation to James Comey, leading to Comey’s actually infamous July 2016 press conference. “Ooohhh,” you conspiracists out there think. “Only 62. He was rubbed out.”
No, doofus, a lot of 62-year-olds have heart attacks, and some of them die. It happens. And yes, it happens that a lot of 50-year-olds die in car accidents, too. But few are like the late sister-in-law of lame-duck Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Foremost Group CEO Angela Chao, whose February 11th “car accident” ended up with her dead in the car… at the bottom of a lake on a Texas ranch owned by the corporation connected to her husband. [Yeah, we smell a Hulu series, too.] Though the local sheriff maintains that it “appears to be an unfortunate accident,” officers will investigate the death the sister of former Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Antonin Scalia died at a private ranch in Texas, too. Hmmmm….
