WARNING: Consumers of the Kool-Aid handed out over the past year will need to undergo the equivalent of a full stem-cell replacement, in order to read though McCarty’s wrap-up without getting very disturbed.  Totally understandable.  You may not wish to read it.  But if you do try, you may want to avoid, in particular, the embedded links – like the two-minute video of James Comey.  For those with more inquisitiveness than conditioning, think about sharing McCarty’s wrap-up with the researchers who have led Amy Goodman – and even Bill Moyers – down the garden path on “Russian hacking.”
