5. Is there a fever going around?

Yet another blogger making an unsubstantiated claim and then building an elaborate conspiracy around it.

- Blogger is proposing that the KT Mac message is among those at issue in the TFA letter. Then goes on to say that there is no "privileged" communication here because there were no lawyers copied. Well, yes! Then maybe this isn't one of the messages at issue!

- Then makes the leap that only Trump emails would be subject to "privilege" therefore he must have known about this email even though there is no evidence of that. But any communication between any of the TFA staff and an attorney could be subject to privilege. (I'm sure Mueller has his bases covered here, I am just challenging the bloggers assumptions.)

- As further evidence that Trump must have seen this message the writer says it was composed at Mar-A-Lago. Well that's just silly. Are we supposed to believe that Trump approves or is copied on every email that any staff writes while at Mar-A-Lago? Please.

And what is the point anyway?
