There is also circumstantial evidence Roberts was a homosexual at one time. Posted about years ago, and brought up a few times since then.
I doubt he would run from a charge of homosexuality. He could prance around like Liberace and he would be a further hero to the DS.
IMHO...most “fights” in DC are about who holds the “control files” over whom.
Watergate prob set the precedent with the fight starting with the death of JEH exactly 6 weeks prior to the DNC break in.
Kayfabe...all of it
That was the other of the two speculations about what turned Roberts that were mentioned at the time. We don’t know exactly what Obama used on him, but it was probably one of those things, or both.
