As many theorized right now there is a war between some of the Deep State coup in trying to throw each other under the bus - for some the gig is up because the info is coming out eventually and theyre trying to take someone down. That NYT story about Rosenstein wanting to record Trump sounds like a purposed leak to get him fire, maybe its McCabe striking back or Mueller wanting Rod fired so that he can play up obstruction of justice and continue on his weak case
With McCain gone, that’s one hornet’s nest which the coup loses. How much that’s happening now is “poison pills” which McCain left behind?
