You may think it’s silly, but that’s what they’re thinking. Kind of like a possible ‘last ditch effort’ to get a message to Patriots. Cut off all communications between him and us, and among oueselves.
It’s silly because that would actually be an act of high treason and an impeachable offense. Anybody on either side thinking that needs to relearn thinking.
And let’s keep in mind, all this is an unsubstantiated rumor. And as the OP says if they actually did it they’d be committing a felony.
