I was far more concerned about her chronic lying and her acceptance of millions and millions of dollars from foreign governments ( foreign as in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc ) than with the spirit cooking thing. I was actually willing to give them all a pass on it and write it off as a weird performance art thing. I didn't buy the Pizzagate allegations either and kind of wish those were never made. They didn't sound credible to me. I do wonder though, how seriously folks in the "bible belt" took those allegations.
The thing about her accepting enormous donations from foreign governments that are not very friendly with us is that there's this unwritten rule that when you "donate" a shitload of money, you expect something back in return. They are not really "donating" but instead "buying" something. A prime example of this is the way that so many rich people got jobs as US Ambassadors to other countries when Hillary was Secretary of State. These folks donated shit loads of money ( Upwards of a few million dollars) prior to asking for these positions.
You have to stop and ask, "If I'm a multi millionaire and I make tons of money from my own investments, then why would I donate millions of dollars in order to get a government job that pays dirt?" If you look at the numbers only, it's a gigantic loss and waste of time. But these are financially savvy people. While these positions don't pay very much, they do give the people who take them opportunities to make "connections" with other very powerful people and in some cases, foreign leaders. ( expect "favors" to be exchanged under the table ) Those connections can translate to lots of huge business opportunities for those who know how to play this game.
