Democrats and the permanent government would hate the fallout from this deal. No doubt an outgoing Trump with this deal would declassify everything we’ve been waiting to see. The dirty DoJ, corrupt judges, the dirt Obama holds over Roberts....everything else they are trying desperately to keep bottled up.
Watching the vile attacks on Kavanaugh, I now wonder if that was a "message" to Roberts who perhaps Obama knows he assaulted women and Obama would leak it if he didn't stay in line.
