And regarding “no deals” - we know there are many cooperating bad guys. They must be getting some kind of recompence for their ratting on the bigger fish.

I agree, LJ. You can't successfully pull of an operation like this, one so vast with so many players, without SOME deals along the way.

I think I spotted one recently, reading between the lines.

Q earlier said that Priestap was [REMOVED FROM POWER] and [COOPERATING].

Then he retires upon completing 20 years of government service, enabling him to get his retirement.

Imagine the conversations that allowed THAT to happen.

A DEAL.

I think the NO DEALS will apply to the MAJOR players. Hillary and such.

Very good theory!

Now about that Mueller is a grey hat thingy?

I agree, the NO DEALS means the really bad 'uns.

The entire quote from which my tagline is a snippet:

“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

I thought I read speculation Priestap has been a mole from the beginning and that’s why his name has stayed largely out of the conversation.
