OK. These threads have been an obsession for a while. I mostly lurk, constantly following rabbit holes. Our task is to grasp what is to come and be prepared to help others. Sustained stress does promote bonding, but an imbalance leads to conflict. WWG1WGA.
I’ve been thinking a lot about RR and RM. Grassley’s letter asks explicit questions. I watched almost an hour of RR speaking and taking questions at some forum on CSPAN. I find it difficult to believe that the person I saw would leave himself so open.
And Mueller. I read his Wiki bio. Considering his WH meet the day before his appointment, why would a 73 (?) year old decorated Marine end as a black hat? His indictments to date? 20-something, 13 Russians, 3 corporations, one who is seeking discovery. Manafort, a plant Q identified. (Q implied more than two plants in the campaign.) And Flynn, but that’s interesting in its own way. What else has he and his team been doing?
The judge and now Grassley want to see RM’s redacted mandate. Many in DC warn against 45 removing either RM or RR, a Constitutional Crisis. The media leaks all sorts of things about the investigation through invisible sources promoting the narrative. It looks bleak for 45…
Of course I feel a sting coming, the twist in the script. Huber has been operational for many months. Per the AG, his mandate includes all the concerns of Grassley, Goodlatte and Gowdy. I admit to knowing little about the AR operation. But the IG has been feeding Huber (theory).
RM’s amended mandate and a release of his findings, the IG release, more stuff from the Congressional Committees, unsealed indictments, my guess is that these will all be harmonious. And damaging to the DS.
Also, Cohen was the #2 finance guy for the RNC. He might know some interesting things from those days or even have some files.
Then again, I’m sipping Bookers.
Well, then by all means, keep the Bookers coming! I really appreciate your summary and report on your thinking wrt Mueller/RR/Grassley et. al.
Thanks for writing it all out so well.
I have changed my mind numerous times about RM. Bad guy, good guy, leveraged bad guy.
Currently, I think he is a good guy who for a long time either saw what was going on and was powerless to stop it or else was an anti-deep state spy gathering info.
At any rate, I think he is fully on board with the Trump plan and we are going to see some good things coming out of his investigation. At the very least, I think he has hired all of HRC’s dirty lawyers so that they are unavailable to defend her due to conflict of interest. I think he is probably gathering info on them as he pretends to let them investigate Trump.
I think we’re getting close to finding out!
Nice analysis.
I am fascinated by something you implied (I think you implied) ... that if Mueller is a white hat then maybe Manafort and/or Flynn was the mole in Trump’s campaign.
It fits.
It’s just outrageous though.
