Uranium and #DARVO: An Epistemological Crisis (Thomas Smith, Serious Inquiries Only SIO90)

A listener sent me an email about a concept called DARVO. It’s a tactic abusers use and it’s shockingly exactly what Trump (and maybe a certain other someone we all know…) is doing. I talk about that and then look into some questions like, did Hillary give 20% of our Uranium to the Russians? Did the DNC and the HIllary campaign collude with Russia to fix the election? Then I talk about why we shouldn’t be talking about those questions…. It’s meta.

The White House Has Declared War on the FBI -- Mother Jones

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has charged "at least one person" in connection with the Russia investigation, which is surprisingly quick work for a special counsel. So who is it? The speed of the action suggests to me either (a) it's a fairly minor character or (b) it's a major character whose actions were so obviously illegal that it didn’t take much time to build a case. The former would be folks like Carter Page. The latter would be folks like Paul Manafort or Michael Flynn....
