It's "I"m hearing from lots of people" that's bullshit.
Frequently in the political world I'm reminded of the rumor mill of the moms at the schools my kids attended. I learned very quickly who actually had a small bit of inside knowledge (no one ever had very much) and who seemed to make stuff up off the top of their heads.
Here, almost every week, there's great anticipation of Mueller or Sessions being fired on Friday. This has been going on nearly since each man took his job. Oh, and John Kelly, the WH chief of staff. He's supposed to be leaving pretty much on a weekly basis. Those notions are essentially conspiracy theory, since they have zero foundation in fact, but are the product of either wishful or pessimistic thinking.
