in the war on drugs. I think his thought process was heavily influenced by his jobs and his service in VN where it was necessary to see every act in a suspicious light. I don't take what he says seriously.

It's quite interesting, and less terrifying (but his theory is still intensely annoying). He believes these people won't have time to accomplish much, are "title jumping" and that the two guys moving from Devin Nunes' office to the DoD are likely to be arrested "within a year." He also believes if they try to pull Intel on the Russian investigation it will be reported instantaneously by a major news organization. He also said, paraphrasing, "nobody in DoD will talk to these people."

I'm not saying he's right or wrong, but it is quite fascinating.

I 100% agree with you this needs to be watched.

1) Trump resignation contingent on Pence pardon
2) theft of documents and proof of Russia's 2016 and 2020 election interference assistance to Trump
3) pardons for the stooges installed to affect this plan, including those helping him plan it like Miller, Kushner and Nunes

They are not trying to take over America - you need COMPETENT EVIL PEOPLE for that...to run a ham-handed cover-up intent on getting away, you can use disposable stooges for that...
