I will admit that is a very interesting and pertinent question.
My first guess would be that they intended that he not be available to inquiring minds like Tucker Carlson, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Jim Jordan and their worst nightmare of all: President Trump.
If the leaks are correct, those would be all over the people exposed...and I suspect that will be the case shortly. I see a hardening attitude on the part of the conservative public...fighting the education system, the voting audits, resistance to the “white privilege” nonsense. It is an undercurrent now, not highly publicized but it could become a wildfire and this could be the match that starts it if the rumors are correct.
It just could be that the criminals will pay a severe price.
It could get interesting...
