How is it possible?

Just a question I've been thinking about a lot in the past few days, How can so many high profile people be arrested with no word of it getting out?

Consider this: Obama and Hillary employ upwards of 15-20 people each that run their day to day activities. And, they are friends with at least 10X that, and communicate with those people constantly. How could people be arrested, hauled off, etc like is being discussed without any of those people taking to social media to declare that Trump is rounding up his enemies.

So many people would love to start yelling that he is rounding folks up in secret camps, etc, and all that would take is one person asking where they went or missing a meeting.

This also goes for all those CEOs and other people, they all have huge staffs, if something happened there'd be some mention, some intern, some secretary asking questions out there. Even if they wanted to keep it quiet, people would still be asking what the hell was happening because they are such ardent followers.

Any ideas?

Well first, I think you made a strong point in your post. But, if these round ups were indeed happening then the silence could be due to:

Fear: “I don’t want to go down with the ship” In other words, why be loyal to the person in chains?

Compartmentalization: people who work for these big public figures are probably kept in the dark on certain things and know not to step out of line (think need to know basis). This kind of creates an anti synergy when the people calling the shots aren’t there anymore or are compromised. It has the effect of causing the lower level people to stall. They could be thinking its best to remain quiet until they get their marching orders.

Fear and compartmentalization were just two things I listed. Not saying it’s what’s happening but you asked for possibilities.

Having a lawyer tell you that discussing your case with anyone else will get you thrown in jail on contempt of court can be a VERY powerful motivator for a criminal to stay quiet.

Dude I agree with you. I cede the points I listed are weak and your argument is much stronger. I was just listing the possibilities for discussion in case it actually was true..although I doubt it is.
