@RickPetree @DKFlyingtiger @timeoutofmind64 @CheriJacobus @HCandler @djrothkopf @cincity631 @NastyOldWomyn Yes, but here's the part I find interesting: I believe on Inauguration Day the plan was Trump out by the end of the year, posture as "reformers", ready for midterms. Then it got even worse than they could have anticipated. And somewhere the plan changed. Graham's conversion /1
@RickPetree @DKFlyingtiger @timeoutofmind64 @CheriJacobus @HCandler @djrothkopf @cincity631 @NastyOldWomyn 2/ in Oct 2017 was, I believe, kompromat driven. That either came from GRU or Pecker's vault. I'm betting GRU.
