#4  You have to have members of the inner staff fly separately for continuity and security reasons. SOP with military and corporate. Remember Polish contingent going to Russia that time.

#3  Obliquely re #1: Twenty-three place settings would suggest an expectation of company, while twenty-three firearms (or whatever that's up to now) suggests demonstrates... lunatic lonerhood! Swallowed that without a sniff, myself. Silly me.

#2  Could he have been needed for something urgent at the office? Is it possible it never happened at all? The deep state and the news media have a vested interest in creating mountains out of molehills about President Trump and his people.

#1  My reading indicates that Paddok had multiple hotel rooms in Vegas. The question is where would Members of the Whitehouse team be expected to visit or hold rallies. Were any high level visits canceled before Paddok went off the rails. Will victims or members of the family be able to sue the bump stock company. Will bump stocks be outlawed?
