Your tin-foiliness is not unwarranted. We have the strongest Oligarchs since the Guilded Age. Unlimited resources for the most part. They can get rid of anyone they want. First they will try to take her down politically, then they will try to harm her. I hope her staff knows this and has a good plan.

But something is afoot. We can't be the only ones to notice she is building momentum. But the attack hasn't come yet. Very out of character. But it is coming.
