On the pickle thing:
The President's Intelligence Check List is referred to as a "pickle". The C _ A produces these briefings. The C _ A has referred to themselves as the "Pickle Factory" for years. So that was a shot across the bow from Q at the Pickle Factory.
And here's a thought I had, let me know if anybody is tracking:
If POTUS had some places raided, like the places mentioned in the Pedosta emails, and then slapped them with National Security Letters, wouldn't they have to keep quiet about it or face years in jail? I remember hearing about that a while back, so I was just wondering if anybody knew if that is still going on? That could be why we've seemingly missed some of the booms.
