Wary of second Mueller probe, Trump 2020 campaign decides against having policy advisers
Washington Times ^ | 05/21/19

The 2020 Trump reelection campaign has opted not to have foreign or economic policy teams, in part to avoid the type of problems in 2016 that ensnared junior advisers and led to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Instead, Team Trump will follow the lead of the White House on policy, according to Trump campaign officials. It is the first time in at least two decades that a presidential candidate has decided not to have dedicated policy teams covering national security and the economy.

“We don’t set policy here,” Trump campaign Strategic Communications Director Marc Lotter told the Washington Examiner. “When you’re running for office, on the outside, you do create the policy teams and the advisory groups and things because this is what you want to do. Here, they’re making policy inside the White House with the federal government.”

Hopefully someone has learnec hard lessons about vetting anyone sho can even remotely claim to be an “ advisor” or on the campaign staff, even as a volunteer

Expect active sabotage efforts by dems and the uniparty to place spies, imposters and provocateurs in Trumps campaign

It seems some cabal in the GOP still sees a scenario where Trump implodes and Romney is drafted to ride in on a white horse

If it were me I’d have a team and use it to plant disinfo to divide the Left and send it off on wild goose chases.

No, foreign or economic policy teams didn't lead to Mueller. What led to Mueller was a policy by Deep State to "Get Trump", pure and simple.

'"...2020 Trump reelection campaign has opted not to have foreign or economic policy teams..."

I'm pretty much satisfied that DJT's abilities in foreign poicy and economics (business) far outstrip the abilities of any D.C. "expert."

Every single prediction of the 0bumma-geniuses was wrong.
