Yesterday, Tuesday, at the Sessions Confirmation Hearing Lindsay asked a very strange question in a very harsh tone. He had a very odd expression on his face to go with this. Basically he seemed to be asking Sessions if he knew that the Russians were mean and hacked the election. Sessions indicated that he had read press reports but did not have additional info.
Lindsay acted frustrated with this answer but was obviously leading somewhere with this. Whatever Lindsay was trying to do did not quite come out in the questioning or response. Now when you add up that Lindsay and McCain both knew of the intelligence report on the dastardly things Trump supposedly did in Moscow and Trump’s supposed close relationship with Putin, and Lindsay’s knowledge that this wicked information was to explode into public just before Trump’s news conference, it really makes me wonder.
I believe that Lindsay and McCain did not endorse Trump because they were tricked by the phony intel report before the election and expected to be seen as correct all along in their assessment of Trump. These two senators are dangerous wild cards and are not friends of Trump’s movement.
Good analysis Sam.
My take is there are far more within the GOP involved here. Recall that the ex spook that supposedly gave this to McCain was originally hired by one or more of the primary opponents. Most likely in descending order, Bush, Cruz, or Rubio. Lindsey no doubt clued in by McCain. The fact that none of them, nor Hillary, and not even the press thought the story was remotely credible, and even plausible enough to be used during the campaign.
Once again, Trump has managed to turn the tables on these Benedict Arnold's. Trump is going to squash these establishment moles. Note in his presser today, he tested his inner circle to see if there could be a mole within by keeping an intel meeting secret to everyone. Trump is going to win this war with the establishment. But it will be bloody.
I saw him, he was acting giddy.
