:: Then, after the I.G. report came out, his level of danger backed down from 3 to 2. ::

Keep in mind that [RR] was sequestered in the WH with POTUS during the entire initial storm of the IG report. The current plan was laid out in front of him with the optics of Patriots screaming for blood in the background.

POTUS waits silently and, after 2.5 hours, he looks at [RR] and says, “Well Rod, what will you do now?”

[RR] is a flowing puddle of warm gelatin on the floor.

I like that story. :)

RR has done one thing for POTUS - he provided the rationale for firing Comey and then restated same in his modification to the IG report - and then they sent that to the Mule.

Throw any talk of "obstruction" out the window - Mueller just had the rug pulled out from under him. Even in its publicly shaped form, this IG report is now Exhibit 1 precluding any case alleging "obstruction" arising from the firing of Gnomey.

Bagster - please queue up UFO - Pack it up and GO!
