In a revelation that feels like it belongs more in the pages of a spy novel than a news report, current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has brought to light a declassification bombshell. According to what she unearthed, Russia had a treasure trove of damning information about Hillary Clinton, information that never saw the light of day during her presidential campaign. One can only imagine the pandemonium if this treasure trove had been opened.
Among the details supposedly tucked away were accounts of Clinton’s health issues that were allegedly bursting at the seams with alarm bells. The reports talk about a cocktail of strong sedatives Clinton was using to battle worsening mental health. It’s like something straight out of a political drama series. And yet, this hush-hush scandal was never unveiled to the American public, who, one could argue, have a right to know about the health of a potential Commander-in-Chief.
This leads us to one of the more notable moments from Clinton’s campaign, captured forever by independent journalists—a video disseminated widely, showing her losing her balance and descending into a mysterious black van. If you zoom in on the footage just right, it seems to confirm every detail the reports alleged: the unsteady wobble, the struggle to stay upright, and the apparent loss of consciousness. It’s as though the footage and the declassified information are two pieces of a puzzle that perfectly snap into place.
Despite the smoke screen suggesting Russian tampering in favor of Trump, which the Obama administration heavily promoted, this supposedly earth-shaking intelligence about Clinton’s health remained buried and out of the public discourse.
Perhaps the cherry on top—or maybe plutonium-laced cherry—is the depiction of Clinton’s emotional state. The declassified documents refer to episodes where her behavior oscillated between uncontrolled anger, bouts of aggression, and sudden cheerfulness—a rollercoaster of emotions tempered by daily heavy tranquilizers. All the while, her thirst for power remained unquenched. With shades of political theater and whispered echoes of “what could’ve been,” one can’t help but ponder if engaging those cold chai discussions was merely strategic deflection in avoiding the truth simmering beneath the surface. What a spectacle it would have been to witness if all these hidden chapters were exposed in the thick of the campaign drama.
