However, the Deep State (or Dems) wouldn’t mind staging threatening calls, pretending to be Republicans so they can claim that a “not guilty” verdict was made under duress. Similar to having the (fake) threatening caller say, “Q sent me.” Anything to create the false optics that the right is “dangerous”.
I’ve seen analysts saying that without a Manafort conviction, the Mueller case dies, and there’s panic in dark corners about that.
I think it’s more likely that the threats are to force conviction but then, nothing is what it seems anymore.
Q team better get out in front of that possibility.
