“Someone is going to get 10 years in the WH out of this, and it is someone who doesn’t want to have to win an election, or even go through one. At least, that is the plan.”
So, who is this person who doesn’t want to have to win an election or go thru one?
Hillary, is my bet.
I don’t think that the cabal failed her on purpose in 2016. They could not overcome the impact of Trump.
After that, there’s no other way than this, that she can get in.
