(1,129 posts)Hopefully, the last few weeks have sufficiently lulled 45 & Gang into a false sense of security... emboldening them to freely engage in increasingly risky behavior without fear of repercussion... (like turning off the recording devices during conversation with Putin, etc.) and has allowed the various intelligence agencies to acquire conclusive data needed to connect all the dots.
This would also likely have allowed sufficient time for communication to take place amongst all players involved... thus ensuring that the entire tumor is located/identified before the extraction procedure takes place.
Perhaps 45 is truly as Bannon previously described him -- a blunt tool that "doesn't get it" --
as he has been given several "warnings" to diverge from the chosen path
(told not to aggravate intelligence agencies because 'they can get back at you 7 ways from Sunday'; given the dossier addendum...followed by the dossier leak; plus leak after leak of activities which occurred behind closed doors; etc)....
Nevertheless, he has persisted.
So,It is hard to say the degree to which 45 may or may not have plausible deniability as to the master plan... but that does not excuse him from being held accountable for his involvement.
If such optimism is unfounded, and it turns out that there is no large scale extraction planned, then we are likely already beyond the point of no return.
