17. I'm still concerned whether the "whole full truth" will ever come out

In fact, I have doubts it will.

The people who enabled Trump are still in power. Trump is compromised. He is their puppet president - whether he realizes it or not.

A more sinister view of this is the Republican power brokers have known much of this all along. It was ok because they effectively got to govern through Trump. They got their big tax cut. They're stacking the courts with conservative judges that will last for generations. etc. And Russian Rubles appear to be paying for a significant part of it.

So often, when the GOP accuse, they accuse of things they themselves are guilty of. The QAnon Deep State conspiracy theory, I think, kind of blew up when their supposed prophesies fell apart. But if someone kicked around the notion that a Deep State exists that enabled and propped up Trump, that to me makes some sense based upon what we're experiencing and have seen.

The answer of whether that GOP Deep State exists will probably arrive dependent on whether we get "whole full truth". If I had to bet on it, we will not get the "whole full truth" any time soon.

I think we are in for some surprises when the whole full truth comes out. Interesting Post. nt UniteFightBack Dec 2018 #1
