Trump Campaign Attempts Damage Control Over Fiasco At Black Journalists' Conference

71. Not that we know of.

But I am role playing the evil mind set of those who are hopelessly addicted to power. They are the epitomy of "chasing the dragon" as heroin addicts phrase it. If I were such an addict (and ex head of the CIA.... if being an ex is even possible) then I would try to convince a family acquaintance to "take one for the team". I could guarantee him that I have the legal system in my pocket and that he would do a bit of time at a club fed and would be taken care of. I would figure that if the plot failed, and it did, there would be a swelling of popular support (see recent events) and if it succeeded the sympathy and popular support would be outstanding (see LBJ).

As things stand now, the evil side is using putin"s playbook. NOTHING is off the table.

If I were putin I would have one of my operatives offer the same deal to some whacked 20 year old who fits the crazy loner gunman profile. Tell him that removing tsf is critical to the success of the movement. Tsf is, at best, a useful idiot. He has no role in putin's end game. I would want him to know that he will sit by my side after his historic deed. Then, regardless of the attempt's outcome, I would have him whacked. That must be done, dead men telling tales and all that. It would be simpler, in a way, to eliminate the (increasingly useless) useful idiot but a clean assassination without a culprit to blame would not serve my needs and would leave begging the causality. A culprit who fit the "loner, nut, incel misfit" would help to insure the increased popularity and favor of the right and, most importantly, be totally believable (hell, these types kill children and the population is used to it.... end of story). Either way I would have a martyred useful idiot/hero.

putin is playing for domination of the entire world. That is pretty big stakes.

Put NOTHING past him.
