"I suspect one of his unspoken reasons was that he did not want to perturb the forward motion of his snow-balling battle against the deep State — just as it’s actually starting to roll..."

Maybe. As I've been saying, I think Trump and Sessions are playing rope-a-dope with Mueller and the Deep State. We'll see when the DOJ Inspector General releases his report. However, it may be so redacted as to not give Americans the complete picture. Then it will be about FOIA lawsuits that go on for years.

TXnMA: "Maybe you haven't been paying attention. Trump's real power base is his magnificent support by the US Armed Forces...

A Navy Vet "Not entirely true. His base was mostly about draining The Swamp in DC. He just gave the Deep State more leverage. Please don't lecture me about support for the Armed Forces. I did 11 years and have worked with numerous organizations to support active duty and Veterans after. I still support them in various ways."

Apparently you misinterpreted the significance of my statement about the military being Trump's Power Base.

And, also apparently,, you're not "in the "Qanon intel loop".

Trump just tricked Congress into providing him with both the funding and the expertise needed to build the entire border wall!

And -- those of us "in the QLoop" have had clues to that info for quite a while!

The latest "Qdrop" was a repeat of parts of earlier ones:

---

963

Clock activated.
RED_CASTLE.
GREEN_CASTLE.
Stage_5:5[y]
Q

---

(HINT: "RED"= Unit & "GREEN = HQ address...)

To see how that "Qdrop" foretells how Trump is bypassing Congress to build The Wall, see the graphic at

FRiend, you are 'way behind the knowledge curve... :-(

At the very least, you would do well to read the links in the first part of ransomnote's M, W, & F "Q Anon: FRiendly Freeper Collaboration" threads...

And, it probably wouldn't hurt to check in on Sean Hannity and Sara A. Carter on Fox news. [And take a very close look at Hannity's flag lapel pin...] '-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mueller almost has to be part of the team, along with Rosenstein and Wray.

Other than that, I agree with you.

BTW, Jay Sekulow was saying yesterday that the fact McCabe’s lawyers cannot see all the documents yet is PROOF that McCabe is under Grand Jury investigation. The question is, by whom? Mueller; or an as-yet unknown prosecutor?

You refer to Caassius clay. A better referenci is Franklin Roosevelt.

As President, he conducted a massive war is extreme secrecy. He did not permit violation of the national security by leaks to the press.

Trump is maintaining war time secrecy
