Comey to Rosenstein, Fire me.
Rosenstein: What?
Comey: Fire me so that you can appoint a special council.
Rosenstein: Brilliant!
Comey: We can do this. We are the Resistance.
How about we get down to brass tacks? The fight between citizens and the deep state is going to be resolved, one way or another. Can we agree on this premise as an initial starting point?
Now, how it gets resolved is the big question, the unanswered variable. Do you really think Trump will be impeached on 'trumped' up charges and the deep state resumes its assumption of power without a fight?
Or, does Trump elect to use the nuclear option, ordering the military to arrest the complete edifice, including the entire IC facility that is directing & coordinating the disinformation campaign? Because, after all this is seditious conspiracy, and the oath implies defending the constitution against foreign & domestic enemies.
By doing so, Trump will have crossed the Rubicon, and yet, afterward, the Republic will have been restored. It took decades for the country to recover from CW1, yet history is written by the winners. So who's the hero? Hint: his monument anchors the Mall.
I think the deep state is desperate at this point, because any cursory review of the game theory outcomes will point to this ultimately conclusion being reached. The only question remaining, is does Trump get it? And if so, how strong is his resolve?
