"backchannels are important."
Lol. Let's assume that Trump is actually not comped, and he is just powerless. If this was the case, Trump could have given nightly press conferences describing the structure of the Fed and it's (our) owners, along with the owners' names and addresses. He could have discussed the corruption of every RINO who blocked him from achieving any of his election agenda when he supposedly had control of the House and Senate, exposing their bribes and blackmail, directing people to the White House website where all of this would be documented. Same with Chinese influence over academia, Hollywood, and politicians. He could have discussed, with proof, what happened on 9/11 and Vegas, as well as what is really going on with UFOs. He could have doxxed the fuck out of every traitor in Washington, and exposed the power structure of the global cabal. He could do all this even if totally powerless to actually arrest anyone, or achieve his agenda. He has done none of that. Ask yourselves why.
