    The password associated with all of the accounts in question includes the word “shraddha,” which appears to have personal significance to Gabbard: Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal reported that she had been initiated into the Science of Identity Foundation, an offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement into which she was reportedly born and which former members have accused of being a cult.

    The password is “shraddha” and she’s in a cult.

    Wow.

    My thought process: “well, a lot of people have probably done this, so I don’t see what the big - OH FUCK SHE’S THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE! This administration is full of idiots.”

      Except for the ones writing the orders. They’ve been smart, and the incompetence of the regime itself could end up being used as a smokescreen.

      They’re useful idiots for even more evil people.
