PS - I'm finding this scandal to be very difficult to sort out in terms of chronology and facts. I don't have the brains for this perpetual 11 dimensional chess any more!
Is there some form of journalistic rosetta stone on this entire scandal? I'm forming my understanding based on all-over-the-place DU posts and links and I'm drowning in misinformation to the extent I feel like I'm being toyed with by rouge CIA psyops efforts that have infested our mainstream media since at least the end of WW2.
