That's one of the top Q proofs IMO. Dude is never getting out of prison. He was straight up panicking on Twatter.
He had to hire them. Senior Executive Service. Jimmy Carter's part of the insurrection that's been going on for 60 years.
They used the security clearance schtick. You can't just take you friend and make him head of the FBI. Trump had only a pool he could draw from that could pass the Senate. He had fucking Ryan's jealous ass as top of the House. He was sabotaged from day one with who he could hire.
Almost everyone turned on him at some point.
