With the opera last night at the RNC, there was talk on here about similarities to Godfather 3. There's many aspects of the movie that could apply to the goings on in DC, but one scene stood out in watching various clips on youtube.
Vincent becomes a double-agent to get close to Michael's enemies. I'm sure POTUS has accomplished the same thing with players we don't yet know.
One line in this scene is interesting…
"Finance is the gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger."
POTUS will know when to pull that trigger to have the biggest impact.
