I’m just the messenger.
Washington (CNN)There has long been an air of conspiracy surrounding theories of alien life, and the head of Hillary Clinton's campaign said Thursday it's time to do away with the secrecy.
CNN's Jake Tapper pulled aside Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, who was a guest on "The Lead," to talk aliens.
"The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena," Podesta said.
As I searched for just a bit more linkable content for this very important promise of public service, I found that, unbeknownst to me, there has been an ongoing conversation with the Clinton Campaign about Area 51 and UFO’s. [ 1 | 2 | 3]

In a mere matter of earthly months, puny human voters will all have close encounters with a ballot box. Choices will be made for various personal reasons, according to foreign policy, domestic issues, size of hands.
Throughout it all, Hillary Clinton will surely garner support from a highly specific voting block: Space aliens. More specifically, space-alien proponents, because actual aliens can't register at the DMV.
Recent reports say Clinton's campaign manager says Clinton says she'll "get to the bottom of the UFO question." She even told a New Hampshire paper she'd consider a task force to investigate Area 51, and thinks it's possible we've already been visited by E.T.s. Hmm, wonder if they have particularly tiny hands.

“When we had your husband, President Clinton, on this show [in 2014], I asked him about UFOs and Area 51,” Kimmel reminded Clinton. “If I was president, that’s the first thing I’d do. I’d go right into those files and see what was going on. And he said that he did do that, and that he didn’t find anything.”
Clinton offered this provocative response: “Yes...well, I’m gonna do it, again. And you know, there’s a new name,” Clinton added. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon — UAP — that’s the latest nomenclature.”
When Kimmel countered that he prefers the “old” acronym — UFO — Clinton said, “Well, I think we can use them interchangeably, but I would like us to go into those files and, hopefully, make as much of that public as possible. If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there.”
I’m just going to leave this here while I go off to work at a job I spent years and years in school to avoid getting, but thanks to the ravages of the GOP and what I call End-Stage Reaganism, I am lucky to have this little pittance of an income.
I could care less about UFO’s. I care far, far more about the utter destruction of End-Stage Reaganism and the destruction of the Status Quo.
Stuff like this just detracts from the important discussions.
Though I don’t blame her for trying to steal Trump supporters. Points for style, there.
