organizations are not run, for better or worse, by MBAs, but by young people distinguished only by their earnestness and public sector idealism and ambition. (It is an anomaly of Republican politics that young people motivated to work in the public sector find themselves working to limit the public sector.) Careers advance by how well you learn on the job and how well you get along with the rest of the swamp and play its game. In 2008, Walsh became the McCain campaign’s midwest regional finance director— having majored in marketing and finance at GW, she was trusted to hold the checkbook. Then on to deputy finance director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, deputy finance director and then finance director of the Republican National Committee, and finally, pre-White House, chief of staff of the RNC and its chairman, Reince Priebus. In retrospect, the key moment in saving the Trump campaign might be less the Mercer- led takeover and imposition of Bannon and Conway in mid-August than the acceptance that the bare-bones and still largely one-man organization would need to depend on the largesse of the RNC. The RNC had the ground game and the data infrastructure; other campaigns might not normally trust the national committee, with its many snakes in the grass, but the Trump campaign had chosen not to build this sort of organization or make this investment. In late August, Bannon and Conway, with Kushner’s consent, made a deal with the deep-swamp RNC despite Trump’s continued insistence that they’d gotten this far without the RNC, so why come crawling now? Almost right away Walsh became a key player in the campaign, a dedicated, make-the- trains-run-on-time power centralizer—a figure without which few organizations can run. Commuting between RNC headquarters in Washington and Trump Tower, she was the quartermaster who made national political resources available to the campaign. If Trump himself was often a disruption in the final months of the race and during the transition, the campaign around him, in part because its only option was to smoothly integrate with the RNC, was a vastly more responsive and unified organization than, say, the Hillary Clinton campaign with its significantly greater resources. Facing catastrophe and seeming certain humiliation, the Trump campaign pulled together—with Priebus, Bannon, and Kushner all starring in buddy-movie roles. The camaraderie barely survived a few days in the West Wing. OOK Ok To Katie Walsh, it became almost immediately clear that the common purpose of the campaign and the urgency of the transition were lost as soon as the Trump team stepped into the White House. They had gone from managing Donald Trump to the expectation of being managed by him—or at least through him and almost solely for his purposes. Yet the president, while proposing the most radical departure from governing and policy norms in several generations, had few specific ideas about how to turn his themes and vitriol into policy, nor a team that could reasonably unite behind him.

Alan Dershowitz tweets accusations of perjury against [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme, cites Secret Service records on Al Gore and mentions alleged sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

Alan Dershowitz tweets accusations of perjury against [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme, cites Secret Service records on Al Gore and mentions alleged sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump The passage provides a concrete claim by a high‑profile attorney that secret service records disprove a story linking Al Gore to Epstein’s island, and it references alleged sex tapes involving two former presidents. While the tweet itself is unverified and lacks supporting documentation, it points to potential secret‑service documentation and possible perjury by named individuals, which could merit follow‑up. However, the lack of direct evidence, dates, or transaction details limits its immediate investigative utility. Key insights: Dershowitz names [REDACTED - Survivor] and Sarah Ransomme as perjury accusers.; Claims Secret Service records show Al Gore never visited Epstein’s island.; Alleges Sarah Ransomme possesses sex tapes of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Alleged sealed deposition claims ties to CIA hack, Russian/Anonymous assistance, and compromising material on Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew

Alleged sealed deposition claims ties to CIA hack, Russian/Anonymous assistance, and compromising material on Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew The passage references a sealed deposition that allegedly contains explosive claims of foreign intelligence (Russia), hack‑by‑the‑CIA, and compromising media on high‑profile political figures. While the source is a plaintiff’s counsel and the details are unverified, the names (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew) and alleged involvement of intelligence agencies make it a potentially valuable lead for further document review and source verification. Key insights: Sealed deposition (M6) allegedly includes detailed sexual allegations involving Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, and Richard Branson.; Plaintiff claims she received help from "the Russians" and the hacker group Anonymous after a CIA‑linked email hack.; Alleged statement that Hillary Clinton sent "Special Agents Forces Men" to intimidate a friend during the 2016 campaign.
