I’m a pessimist or experienced, I’ll leave that judgement to someone else. My take is if I’m playing impeach President Trump I’d sacrifice both Podestas and if need be a washed up Clinton or two for a win. That is what I think is most likely happening. They are fabricating impartiality at best.
Your theory is reasonable, but my gut has said for over a year now that it is Podesta who pulls the strings...that the Clintons & Obama actually work for him. What was he? Bill’s Chief of Staff, Obama’s special advisor, Hillary’s campaign manager. The one thing all those crooks have in common is Podesta standing behind their right shoulder.
Throw in the pizza scandal and you’ve got the makings of a Deep State Principal player.
