I think you’re right about the vastness of the conspiracy, but I don’t think the motivation is just or even primarily Jeb ‘16. Lots of operatives know they would be on the outside of a Palin campaign and the GOP Establishment knows she’ll take on corruption within her own party. In a lot of cases with those in government, I think the true deep fear goes all the way to the possibility, however slight, of jail time.
That was only one of my 10 points.
The other 9 pertain to the campaign itself and the antagonism that exists towards Palin by the ruling class and of course their knowledge that if these elitists can eliminate Palin, Mitt is home free.
