Trump, Gen. Mattis, Adm. Rogers and many others played the game to stay in the loop.
Since it's clear that this has been going on for decades some of these people have deep ties to black hat operations.
Some of them may very well have been high ranking members of the cabal.
Very deep moles. Waiting for the right moment to turn.
And the election of President Trump was that moment. With him in the WH they could all rally behind him as the legitimate Commander in Chief.
So the white hats and black hats are all mixed in together and will be sorted out not by their past but what they did starting with Day 1 of Trump's administration.
We will have to wait a while longer before we see who is really who but it's coming.
After next week, things should start going faster.
