Life is often stranger than fiction
Overheard intel types at airports discussing disappearing somebody would get me the "unrealistic" label from any self respecting fiction editor...though Inspector Cluseeau...sure, it's part of slapstick.
 
A guy passing documents to journos in a dark parking lot used to get the same treatment from the same exact fiction editors until...Watergate happened.
 
So...many caveats here... After Clemons does due diligence he finds out this was no joke, but the real article...and all the other caveats that go with it...well, we know there is a sub-rosa war between the administration and the media...no love lost. I don't know about you, but the implications of that scare the living shits out of me.
 
So for all our sakes, this better not be anything beyond a couple folks making some off color comments in an airport. If these comments are for real, well...all those speculations about a police state are no longer speculation. That is not something nice to contemplate.

I have no idea what the nutcase is talking about, nor does she. I just thought "Inspector Cluseeau" was a pretty good nadinism. Damn autocorrect!

Maybe "Inspectress" could be added to Nadin's resume.

The only thing that is strange in her op is the fact she is a large landmass without a clue as to what the HELL she is talking about.

I wonder if she sees herself to the journalistic peer of a Woodward or Bernstein?

In her mind, she actually believes that she could one day win a Pulitzer.

It could happen.  Considering who has won various Nobel prizes.

She sees them as her comrades-in-arms.

But I have never seen either of those guys lugging a Good Rig, nor have they ever rappelled into a story, nor have they been forced to wear Nomex.

They even have the luxury of an expense report to pay for their gasoline.

They even have readers, and get paid.

So yeah, maybe they're peers, but those two guys haven't made their bones like the nutcase.

It's almost as if she is carrying on a conversation with voices in her heard, and we're only reading her part of that conversation. To make matters worse it seems as if when she types her part she has some sort of seizure that causes massive misspellings and whole chunks of her part of the conversation to be left out.

Putting 2+ 2 to get a 4 from Nads is not hard for us who know her so well. 

Trying to connect the dots here.    She fears her calls to her family in Mexico are being traced because she is a Journo.   Then there is the fact we do not even know if she is an American Citizen by naturalization.

I have to admit it. Among all the other cavers I missed, I also missed vesta.
