| Coming attractions: How the biggest political scandal in history will play out in 2018 |
| 2017-12-16 |
| h/t Instapundit [AmericanThinker] A lot of frustration has been expressed ‐ on these pages and elsewhere ‐ over the slow pace of progress in unraveling the Deep State coup against Trump. But "the process of uncovering the worst political scandal in American history," as I called it a couple of days ago, needs to be done the right way, or else it will founder under the waves of abuse that will pour from the media and political branches of the establishment. Not only must legal niceties be observed, but the rollout of information must be undertaken with a strategy in mind. Each step builds on the previous and addresses the probable response. ...Sundance of Conservative Treehouse has a must-read column today, analyzing the pattern of disclosures from the I.G. In Sundance's words, "It looks just like a prosecutor laying out his case." Consider what is at stake; and further consider that you were given the task of revealing the outcome of an investigation of such consequence. How would you introduce the findings to the larger U.S. electorate? Given the timing of the releases from the IG's investigation, I think that's what we are seeing in the past two weeks. A prosecutor laying out his case over the course of multiple media cycles. ... There is a pattern in the released OIG information and how we retrieve it from the media. ♦Ahead of FBI Director Christopher Wray appearing before congress the IG released the information about FBI Agent Strzok and his mistress FBI/DOJ Attorney Lisa Page. ♦Just before Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe was going to appear before congress the IG released information about DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie Ohr. Andrew McCabe ducked out of the hearing, and will now appear next week. Boy-oh-boy that one should be interesting. If he's still employed. (anticipating more releases here) ♦Just before DOJ Asst. AG Rod Rosenstein appeared before congress the IG released the actual text messaging information from Agent Strzok and Lisa Page. See the pattern? Damage control. |

| #5 And would a mass "suicide" be too suspicious? You could pass it off as a jihadi terror attack. The main logistical problem would be getting all the 'participants' in the same place at the same time. |

| #4 How many bodies can Fort Marcy Park hold at one time? And would a mass "suicide" be too suspicious? |

| #3 Some are looking for a mob to take care of this nasty business--like a Muammar Gadaffi mob solution; like the one Hillary arranged in Libya. You know, the "We came, we saw, we killed him [Gadaffi]. Recall, that a mob chased him down, $odomized him with a bayonette, and killed him. |

| #2 A well-reasoned rule-of-law strategy is being followed. All-well-and-good but what about the necessary sacrifices to the volcano gods? |

| #1 Looks like the DoJ IG is using a page from the leftist playbook, i.e., the death by a thousand cuts as used during Watergate by leakers on Sam Ervin committee to paint Nixon into a corner. Based on what has been leaked so far, witchhunt has become too shallow a description for the Mueller "investigation" |
