I think it wise to reserve judgment. A lot of people want to still want to put a white hat on Snowden for example. We don't know the whole story. Maybe Scalia was a pedo or maybe someone was twisting his arm on the side i just dont see how his persona or stance could have benefitted the deep state if they couldnt manipulate him.
It begs to question though how deeply corrupt some of the more recent appointments are
Hopefully one day we will have a clearer picture of what truly went down though i do worry that a fog will linger over some things.
That said, i have no reservations in my belief that Podesta needs to answer for his crimes.
