Q and Trump probably knew they (bad actors) were listening to some of their comms to find someone on the inside (RR) to use against Trump. Q has been watching/listening to bad actor's comms without tipping them off, allowing Q to know their next moves and intentions. Q floats RR's name as incoming DAG with the intention of bad actors picking up on this info and using RR as their inside man. Bad actors then drum up the plan to have RR wear a wire and entrap Trump to try and strengthen their case for impeachment.
It was a reverse wiretap. Q was listening/watching bad actors as they listened to Q. Q fed them the names and info that would lead our enemies into a trap, awhile simultaneously ensuring Q and Trump were always one step ahead.
"Bake your noodle": We know this phrase was used in The Matrix movie. The Oracle essentially tells Neo to "watch out for that vase" and then in response to the warning Neo knocks the vase over and breaks it. The Oracle says "what will really bake your noodle is would you have still knocked it over if I hand't said anything?" The Oracle can see multiple paths the future can take, and Neo most likely would break something in her kitchen at some point. The Oracle simply chose the desired outcome (the vase breaking) and guided Neo to that path by telling him to watch out for the vase.
I believe Q did the same thing to the bad actors. Q knew the bad actors would be looking for someone to wear a wiretap and try to entrap Trump. (Neo was going to break something in the kitchen / bad actors were going to find someone to use a wiretap). Q and Trump allowed themselves to be eavesdropped saying RR would be for DAG. (The Oracle warns Neo about the vase / Q & Trump drop RR's name to bad actors). This allowed Q to guide bad actors toward a path Q could control and account for. (The Oracle guides Neo to breaking the vase / Q guides bad actors towards choosing RR as their "inside man"). Q was controlling bad actor's actions without them knowing. This allowed Q & trump to isolate RR and insulate Trump from the wiretapping scheme, simultaneously allowing Q to accumulate evidence of wrongdoing by bad actors.
I think Q drew a parallel to the Oracle/Matrix for a number of reasons. 1) The Oracle can see into the future, and her telling Neo to watch out for the vase illustrates this. A.K.A. future proves past (Neo's future actions prove the Oracle's past warning). 2) The entire scene takes place inside the Oracle's kitchen. We are the Bakers for Q, and baking is done in the kitchen and the Oracle is baking cookies throughout the scene. Cookies leave crumbs. Crumbs & Bakers.
Have I baked your noodles or is my noodle baked?
