Whitney always has sources for her statements, it’d be odd to our footnotes in an interview
Would love to see the footnotes for her claim that "Ivanka and Khushner floated the idea to Trump about HARPA - complete digital surveillence, and he really loved the idea but didn't go ahead with it"
Lets say its all true, still doesnt imply what she is implying and what everyone is picking up from thos - that Trump is corrupt. Lets say Trump said "He loved it" without meaning it, because he knows that the best way to say No is to say Yes and do nothing about it, or else people will always come back with more pressure (Any boss in a work place understands this technique).
Oh, and the ARPA-H that she claims was the same project under Biden - Its something completely different
Oh, and the whole Orwellian "pre-crime" that Bill Barr instituted, its nothing more than this memorandum
Webb is a smear monger and thinks innuendo, conjecture, and assumption is journalism. She's a sensationalist that borders on defamation and would be defamation if the people she taking about weren't public figures.
Thanks. A lot of people here swear by her work, but I found her videos very marginal and yes - a lot of smearing by blindly following superficial connections. Much like "Amazing Polly"
I totally agree with this assessment.
