The Russian Collusion movie appears to be an art-house flick where nothing much is happening but where the director creates an atmospheric tension that for some makes paint drying interesting. Nothing much is going on, but there are a lot of expectations around how things will wrap up. The Clinton movie feels like a crazy science fiction story or modern day thriller with lots of action, lots of character development, plot twists and shifts in character alliances. This movie reminds me of the recent blockbuster series Game of Thrones in which the audience is forced to accept the death of its heroes and suffer through shifting it’s attention to new players in the drama. The recent demise of Sessions and Mattis, main characters in this movie come to mind. As does the unclear loyalty of people like Cohen, Flynn, Papadopoulous, Page and others. Some viewers even go as far to wonder whether Mueller might not turn out to be the savior by exonerating Trump. Now that would be an ending, wouldn’t it?
Regardless of which movie we are watching we can probably all agree that one way or another the two plots will unwind. The Russian Collusion movie will go through a period where Mueller wraps up his investigation sending us either into a quick anti-climatix or ending spectacularly in preparation for the impeachment sequel. The Clinton or Cabal Demise movie will have to either see Huber step up and unseal indictments or fade away into a very disappointing ending for its viewers.
The main difference between these two movies is that the Russian Collusion one is acknowledged by everyone while the Huber one is being shown in very limited distribution with absolutely zero fanfare. Most people have never heard of John Huber while it is almost impossible to not know who Robert Mueller is. Yet, if the Huber movie plays out as those watching it expect then Huber will certainly become a household name. How could he not if he ends up indicting some of the most famous people in politics?
