When I read Cates’ explanation, if what he said is true, the first thing that came to mind is “entrapment”, not “sting” - and everyone gets off “Scot-free”. Cates goes off the rails sometimes. I think this is one of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes - the first time through reading Cates stuff, the word “entrap” stood out in my mind. And in Q4196 states that Rosenstein worked to “entrap”.
Excerpt Q4196
Why did [Rosenstein] work to entrap and install blockade [SC]?
Why did [Rosenstein] install [Mueller] knowing zero evidence of Russia collusion?
Why did [Mueller] attempt to retake FBI DIR position?
Why did [Mueller][Rosenstein] drag out SC investigation if known no Russia collusion pre + start?
I swapped in “sting” after I formed the opinion Cates may literally be black hat disinfo because of the “opposites” tactic his entire “argument” employs. Everything the Deep State is doing Cate’s says Trump is doing. Everything the Deep State is responsible for, Cates says Trump is responsible for.
After all the fake FISAs, the creation and handling of the dossier, decisions to lie and knowingly mislead the public, congress, slander the president - there was plenty of dirt on the guilty parties, but Cates asserts that Trump had nothing so “naturally” decide to create the Russia Hoax and sustained it for almost 3 years to damage his own presidency, the 2018 elections, and give the MSM an excuse to flood the airways with indoctrination. This time I don’t think Cate’s is “just wrong”, I suspect he’s black hat disinfo.
Cates is building white hat reputations for traitors and that’s a long game plan - if they could just pull down the president, then Mueller and Rosenstein can be re-instated into the government as “heroes” to refill the swamp.*smh*
There are still a few more pieces to this puzzle ... which accounts for my now currently 0.123% possibility RR was on a leash - we’ve still never seen the redacted portions (and possibly other) FISAs above RR’s signature ... and, I didn’t know this before - but there is a 3rd (THIRD!) scoping memo that went from RR to the Mule. For me, though, the sting was allowing the Mule op (or whatever form such an endeavor may take) to serve as a vehicle for putting all the bad apples under watch and allowing them to expose themselves after POTUS was inaugurated; I’ve always said the question for me is whether RR & the Mule were in on The Plan or the first targets of it. TBD + WWG1WGA :)
Don’t know if I understand you correctly about what Cates is doing. I think Trump is above all honorable and I don’t see him doing what I would call a sting or entrapment. I think Trump was well aware of the actions of the BH/ Deep State. Knowing such he let them hang themselves with their hubris and their elitist attitude. They have chosen evil not been tricked.
I think he just let them self destruct. If Trump were to have tricked us and “set up” people, many would lose respect. I think Q may put out information in the form of questions that may baffle the BH (called disinformation) but I truly believe Q and Trump’s actions are honorable.
