Podesta replied: "no problems here."
Politico's vice president of communications, Brad Dayspring, made an impassioned and transparently moronic defense of his reporter:
"Glenn is one of the top political reporters in the country [!], in no small part because he understands that it is his job to get inside information, not appear perfect when someone illegally hacks email [!]...I can speak with firsthand knowledge and experience that Glenn checks the validity of often complex reporting with everybody, on both sides of the aisle."
So who is Brad Dayspring, the ardent defender of his "top political reporter?"
Years earlier, on October 25, 2011, while Dayspring was working as Communications Director for House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, ADWEEK reported (link here):
"Turns out Dayspring's personal Twitter feed, @BDayspring... follows 1,007 accounts, one of which is SexyTwitPics... Description: 'We RT [retweet] only the HOTTEST Pics DIRECTLY from Sexy Ladies' Twitter Accts! (No random girls, xxx, guys) Ladies Mention us w your pics! 18+'"
Maybe it's a stretch, but I'd say the level of intelligence Dayspring exhibited in defending Glenn Thrush is matched by his interest in SexyTwitPics.
One of the elephants in the room is, of course, Bill Clinton. For several decades, people have been writing about his sexual predations. It's assumed that he and his allies (including his wife) have been able to avoid final excommunication from politics because of their power -- but it would be foolish to assume he has been free from blackmail.
We wouldn't be talking about some reporter with a damning file on Bill Clinton. We would be talking about an agency like the CIA and their file. No one who is a serial abuser simply shrugs off the CIA and blithely walks away.
In other words, the Clintons may have nine lives precisely Because they made a deal with the devil...
