Anon has been playing with this the last few days already.
>What is the purpose of WHITAKER?
Whitaker is a likely a quick hit to clean out RR - Rod Rosenstein.
>Re_read drops re: 'Scaramucci' model.
>Purpose?
>Who did Scaramucci remove?
>Effective?
Scaramucci came in, stirred things up, and had Reince Priebus out within days. Priebus was a hardened NeverTrumper. It worked. Now Priebus is back on his knees for a job - and headed to JAG work IIRC.
>Optics important?
Yes, POTUS needs his hands clean.
>What occurs post installed 'BLOCKADE' removal?
'BLOCKADE' might be a reference to the utter dearth of negative information regarding Democrats still in office. The dirtiest dozen or so are now running for president in order to keep a personal blockade up. The rest - like Schiff - don't have the political capital to make a run and are extremely vulnerable.
Anon has also often speculated that POTUS let the dirty Rs off gracefully, and has always intended to go after the Ds in office. Toss their bums. Lots come from R states with R governors. Let the governors appoint and the the appointees run.
With Whitaker moving any, many, including Warren, realize the first strike is about to come.
Shadilay. Let it be.
