Right. Fucking LURK MOAR JESUS CHRIST
Great inquiry, anon.
I have often thought about this myself, and I wholeheartedly believe POTUS immediately laid out his knowledge of RM's and RR's involvement in U1, and basically said, "You are going to destroy yourselves, and I am going to let you. We will be over here bringing down this cabal of bad actors, and you are going to do exactly as I say in the meantime."
I think he has quite literally squeezed the life out of them, with them in the know, in order to expose the corruption within the DOJ and three letter agencies.
Either could be true however.
