I fully expect an epidemic of very convenient “suicides”, exercise equipment deaths, other fatal “accidents”, and ( of course) the standard drive-by fatal shooting the night before a scheduled testimony.
Absolutely. If you were, for example, someone who is an FBI agent helper / leaker who had knowledge of this stuff and could name names, I’m certain he or she fears Obama / Hillary much more than the DoJ or Congress investigation.
I’m not sure they expected Trump to go on offense like this, especially by just bombing it out to the world the way he did. But maybe they had wind of it since Jarrett moved back in to run ops at the Obama Center for Subversive Activities.
