-- ... do you think there's any truth to the theory that zero's game-playing holdovers and their family are obligated by assassination threat if they fail to keep the President's ear, or fail at keeping him pinned down? --

Any threats from their own team, perceived or real, attach to ratting out. Code of Omerta sort of thing.

You don't take the hitman out for failing his mission. You take him out to prevent him from disclosing who hired him for the hit.

I think the holdovers are true believers. They'd act the same way against Trump even without a perceived threat. Nationalism is an existential threat to globalism, and these people are fully emotionally invested, for reasons that vary from "religious fervor" to pure crony capitalism.

GEEEZ, Cboldt. That is brilliant. You have just proffered an answer to a lot of pondering that is going on among good people, about the relentlessness of the dark side pushers— pushers toward evil goals for America.

Worth repeating:

Cboldt, opines:
