    Meaning she had absolutely nothing to do with Latin America or any regime changes.

      she had absolutely nothing to do with […] any regime changes

      That’s certainly not true if you if you know anything about recent Balkan history.

      Between 1993 and 2001, Alexander was USAID’s deputy for the Europe region, focusing on immediate post-conflict reconstruction in the Balkans.

      USAID financially supported anti-government organizations in the Balkans in order to foment regime change during her tenure. This isn’t a secret either. That information is publicly available. If she was working at USAID during that time at best she was only tangentially involved.
