We’re talking deep deep state here.
Think logically.
Do you believe in coincidences?
If McMaster Jr were a threat to the Deep State, then it might have some plausibility. Q did not mention a threat. He only said that he failed in his mission.
Are there any examples I’m missing of the DS retaliating for simply failing in a mission?
“Do you believe in coincidences?”
Yes I do. I also believe in causation. 84 years old, just suffered a stroke, may well have been taking blood thinners, fell, hit his head, developed a subdural hematoma or worse, and died. Happens to a lot of people every day who aren’t named H.R. McMaster, Sr.
After having dealt with nursing homes, I would look into negligence long before thinking about the deep state.
I believe in negligent care of an elderly man.
