This new generation love clout more than honor. Good. This is the era of truth. American govt is going to be made accountable for their deeds.
In this instance, I don't think clout was the motivation. High level officials are profiled thoroughly to prevent that sort of thing.
Imo, I think there's still an internal divide within the system. A lot of people are tired watching the govt give billions to Ukraine and from the inside, they're tired of watching the country lose another war. I don't think many people in DC like Biden at all.
But I also wouldn't be surprised if another agency is involved like mossad. They been known to infiltrate the highest offices.
