Vic138 User ID: 21337117 United States 01/24/2017 12:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There were groups within the US government that worked against Hillary. It was (I think) the FBI, parts of the NSA against the CIA and Ruling class. I think we got lucky, if Hillary had won, the US would be a lost cause for a generation or two. To learn who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize. When the government is wrong, it's dangerous to be right. The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. -Robspierre |

No, they didn't believe it and still don't. I believe it did influence undecided. A lot of people had a distrust of Trump, but I think Pizzagate showed just how twisted some of the DNC leadership is.

Quoting: queenbee 72138947 I think they thought they didn't have to worry about it because they were so far ahead.
