The Right in general and the Trump madministration in particular are all very keen to offload responsibility for every sad bad mad thing that has happened this year (which comprises the totality of their performances and all other disasters). Their two main choices for scapegoats are Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and they swing from one to the other depending on the mood of the moment (or where on a scale of fantasy to insanity Trump’s mind happens to be) and the MSM pick up on it like good little sheeple anxious to normalize the batshit craziness of the Trump Era.
Currently it is Hillary Clinton.
And that prompted this tweet by Susan Hennessey, Brookings Fellow and Managing Editor of Lawfare:
Well quite. So Eric Garland, being the good citizen that he is, decided to help out.
Very weird… seems almost discriminatory.

When the odious Ass-ange tweeted to Natasha Bertrand, journalist with Business Insider, that she had “low journalistic standards and peddle[d] defamatory falsehoods“ Eric had this response:
Nice one, Eric!
