I was speaking with
@the fall of man while we were watching the Senate Hearing on the Nassar sex abuse case (see below). I would accuse the progressives for only MeToo-ing when Simone came forward, because he had bad touched a POC, but that would mean I didn't expect that.
Anyway, he noted that this is a literal takedown of the FBI by the progressive faction, blaming the establishment. Due to them having the least amount of power, they are trying to get the public will behind them (possibly for political capital? That's my thought) and turn the public opinion against the intelligence agencies.
In order for the FBI/intel agencies to defend themselves, they have to open up why they knew about this for decades and did nothing about it (other than telling the girls to be quiet to not mess up the "investigation"). Honestly not surprised, considering the FBI makes their own CSA media ("oh it's totally for ensnaring pedo rings, mhmm"). He said that if this even just gets the FBI to perform an audit, it will be a huge win. inb4 "we investigated ourselves and found ourselves not doing anything wrong".
Would like to hear others' thoughts on this, especially since I think it's an interesting turn of events making the civil war so open to the public. Or was that a necessary consequence, since the progressives need to make it public to gain that support?
Also am I the only one who knew nothing about this entire Nassar case until today?
