It makes me think of the 2015 GOP primary and, as Trump recounts it, he was discussing the upcoming Indiana primary with his campaign staff. Someone brought up that an endorsement from Bobby Knight would be about the best endorsement one could get in an Indiana election.
I can almost picture a similar discussion occurring about how to fool the DS into believing that certain people on Trump’s team had betrayed him. At some point someone makes the following suggestion, “If you could get Lin Wood to make the accusations, everyone would believe them.” (due to Wood’s reputation as a libel lawyer).
Correction - 2016 primary, not 2015 primary
