The last scene of Clancys SumOf All Fears was about keeping back channels open to stave off catastrophe. It was a conversation between a Russian agent and an American agent.
Interesting that Q would say that soon after saying Clear And Present Danger, another Clancy movie.
That is interesting, DB.
I'll give some thought to other pro-Trump backchannel possibilities. Never clear who Q is referencing at times and I likely glommed onto one and not the other.
