Yes, VET, VET, VET. The whole thing looks fishy and sloppy as shit, right? Looks like an easy take down and that draws all the focus. And the fact that he's so obviously scripted and probably, literally a little psychopath like Bombard observed and a viscerally dislikable person, makes him a great villain. So one of the things to guard against is that this could very well be a big misdirection op. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, go get that little goblin Hogg instead. My take is don't research backward from Hogg toward the center. The manpower and spotlight we can shine is better used elsewhere. Don't go after the Hogg -I mean dog- go after the master.
