    that

    Why can’t you just say what you mean?

    She said:

    And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.

    She literally said “we” should have rigged the election…

    While in a discussion about the actions of the State department…

    That’s what rigging an election means, determining who would win it rather than letting the votes determine it.

    The only way I can possibly think you have a valid compliant, is if you’re saying that her “we” meant American intelligence agencies in general (no idea how that makes a difference) and not “we” as the head of the state department meaning the state department and their own intelligence agency…

    And if your argument is that pedantic, it makes sense why you won’t just say it, but not why you keep replying.
