"Trust, but verify"
If Verify is the mirror of Trust, then perhaps all of the trust names were to be put into situations where their mettle, loyalty, intrigues or dupicity would be tested. Those that failed got cut out of MAGA.
Perhaps for anons, 'trust' put them under a klieg light and any performance failure news items would be archived and shared out to our networks more than they would be otherwise.
It's a stretch, anon knows. Just as likely those trusts were necessary disinfo/bullshit or Act III hasn't started and their plot twists still loom.
Anon thought Sessions successfully put good people in place before the boss had to burn him over recusal and he exited stage left.
