The chess player in me, makes me think that instead of force— which might have to be used to stop someone running out of country (and we have no way of knowing the surveill tasking— not by the usual customers, fibbies, postal inspectors whatever- but the DIA which are empowered, as are mil intel that are deputized under our current War on Terror statutory conditions. The ones Kavanaugh was questioned about by Lindsey Graham, of all people in his confirmation hearing.) Folks don’t seem to know that our military CID has jurisdiction if so deputized— within the US and... outside. And our DOJ has such people (not fbi, others). So, you may be right about “force” being needed to be applied.
Personally, would love to read a retrospective of the Marshals paying Brennan a visit and with the cuffs on him. Schiff as well and that (i’m convinced) neo-nazi Swallwell (remember him calling Tucker a Russian stooge- live on his show- Tucker kicked him off the show during a break. this seems like a furtive cabal of WeHo queer males and.. worse).
Right now, they seem to be violating every rule laid down by Sun Tzu. Why not play light & tight, to sandbag (just a little)?
Or, have they decided to play smash mouth, line up 11 against 11 and see what Trump can do to stop them? Either Trump isn't responding because he has nothing, or he's really holding his fire.
All very fascinating. One has to wonder how the Chinese, Iranians, Russians and other major players with well developed intelligence networks game play it out within their own ranks. They aren't emotionally tied to this drama as citizens; rather, they can objectively watch and evaluate.
