Okay, a possible scenario just for fun – apologies if this has already been discussed in bread I missed.

This guy looks unusually focused and intent, also intelligent and interesting. How fun it would be if he's part of the Q team and waiting for just the right framing to snap the photo and somehow make it available to Politico. The protector seems to be watching him more than RM.

Related: I’ve always assumed RM is bigtime white hat, as are many others playing their roles in this battle to break through illusions and restore righteousness to our world. Wouldn't be surprised if he's helped to orchestrate it all.
