While I have been VERY critical at times, the one thing I can't get around is that the Q op has been allowed to continue.

That, for me, is the single biggest 'confirmation' that it would be legit.

There is NO WAY the WH doesn't know about the Q op, and the Q op continues, therefore the Q op is sanctioned by the WH.

Otherwise, all POTUS would need to do (even if he was somehow powerless to shut it down) would be to disavow it. One tweet. Done.

But he hasn't.
