My working theory is, and this is fresh thinking based on this convo, for the same reason DECLAS was delayed, and as Q explains. They had to REMOVE/INSTALL the [BLOCKADES], the last one being the DNI. Acting Grenell had to get up to speed and purge his own department, then it was on like donkey kong. Tomorrow should be BOOMAGE because of him.
Why did the FBI withhold the facts in the Flynn case?
For reasons I explained above. Turning over info to Flynn's lawyers without supporting DECLAS documentation/evidence from DNI wouldn't be as powerful. Also, you would be turning over evidence in ongoing matters to the derps, via Gracky boi, DOJ derp.
Why not wait to release incriminating stuff to get rid of Gracky, get case dismissed, and secure info in ongoing derp GJ/Durham investigations.
Like I said, it really looks like these guys know what they're doing.
I wouldn't be so quick to put Wray in the derp box. I'm pulling back on that one, after some thought.
RR and Mueller, on the other hand.....
I think you are on to something.
Without cleaning house (recall that Schiffy was happy?) Grenell would have had to depend on [hold-over] staffers to complete the [DECLAS].
The same situation may be applied to Wray?
