I play some wargames on the net, such as “Warcraft” where teams compete. To gather resources to build bigger armies, you must expand past your original base-—build a new base. Naturally, you enemies try to take your new base out.
Of course, if you can, it’s possible to just hit it under construction-—but then the opponent just cancels. He doesn’t get a base, but he doesn’t lose any resources.
The second best option is to wait until he has it JUST built, cannot cancel, then destroy it, not only ending his expansion but burning up his resources that it took to build it.
But there is something called a “teleport,” where you can send your entire army to ANY of your bases, including the new one you just built. If all your teammates work together, when the enemy attacks your new base, all three teammates can teleport in and fight there.
The VERY BEST option is to wait til the base HQ is built, attack, force a teleport of at least one-—or even two-—but destroy it before all three arrive. Now you’ve destroyed the expansion, all the resources to build it, and the enemy probably lost both armies fighting 3 v 2, with his last army now isolated.
In the case of Mueller, you could have killed the investigation in the cradle-—as he just started the base. But there was still hope that he was going to be fair, and more important, that he’d actually look at the leakers and at Cankles. (We DO NOT KNOW: while it doesn’t seem likely, this is still a possibility. None of us are inside).
But since it is underway, timing is key. Trump needs to wait until not only does Mulehead almost have the base built, but get the enemy totally invested-—just before ALL resources can be brought to bear. Then kill the investigation, literally tying up the “evidence” for years, tying down the enemy armies into supporting this-—but not quite all of them-—and eating up all the resources (not taxpayer money, but time, energy, contacts, etc).
You are no doubt correct on this strategery, LS. My concern is that all these Cankles sycophants in Mulehead’s organization are just cutting and pasting leak material onto flash drives and taking them home.
Even if/when Trump crushes this witch hunt, they’ll be dripping their nonsense to the Washington comPost for the next 8 years....knowing it leads to nothing, but giving the Bezos Blog plenty of fake bombshells. (Can I just say I am SICK of hearing that word being used in the fake news? “Bombshell” is used repeatedly when it ISN’T. Ignoramuses in the media are using it for really weak rumor mongering.)
okay. jmho.

FReepers excel at hyperventilating and inventing bogeymen. For all anyone knows, nerdy outsider Jew Rosenstein, known to his circle as an odd guy with Republican leanings, is looking to destroy the reputation of bully frat boy Mueller for personal slights as well as professional misjudgments.
