So,let's run with this theory and assume it's true or largely so. What has been obvious to me is that NP and CS have been obvious White hat puppets since before the shutdown and both not only allowed the shutdown to happen, but actively worked to make it happen.
My question is, was NP trying to cut the strings and go rogue again (highly unlikely imo) or was she allowing evidence to be collected on the co-conspirators or a different scenario that I haven't considered?
