j reacts to wikileaks' prosecution of clinton as a red flag for deep state orchestration

this is so interesting to analyze from so many different perspectives. so, if they release the emails through wikileaks, does that reduce it to a conspiracy theory? on the other hand, if the emails are actually used to prosecute - which so many claim is impossible - then is this itself a part of the show trial, or is it actually just reduced to an act of personal revenge?

see, i'm normally all about evidence, but i have to leave space open for the value of speculation. we have such a deficit of evidence. i mean, if empiricism is supposed to be about the idea that you can better understand the world around you by measuring it than by imagining it, that presupposes an ability to measure things. there's no contradiction in upholding evidence when it is available, and retreating to the imagination when it is not. when, specifically? what's the test? when the other option is "there's no evidence". then, we're stuck with inferences and guesses.

i'm just not quite sure why the administration would let this drag on as long as it has if it always intended to stifle it. that doesn't necessarily mean the administration is sabotaging the run; it could also mean that the administration has less control over state machinations than might be commonly imagined. if the democratic party had control over this, it would have been shut down already.

so, i'm inclined to push back against the idea that this can't happen. this is happening. who's orchestrating it?
