I mean... She's the reason we know the Russians wanted Trump to win and took actions to compromise our physical election infrastructure. She leaked that while the Trump administration was actively trying to bury it.
yeah there's irony to the name and coinciding events... almost like someone named Trump hoarding national secrets after an attempted coup.
