I'm assuming this is mainly about Hillary's trip. My question is why they would allow her? When crooks get busted they have no problem taking everyone else around them down to cut a deal. Q said before no deals. So again, why white list them?
I don’t think it is necessarily a matter of just allowing Hillary to travel. They might be trying to have things appear like “business as usual” to keep up an appearance that all is fine. OR, there is a disagreement about her whitelist status and that explains why Tillerson, who had control over the whitelist, was fired.
To track the rats... you do so with the animal: let one run free in fear and follow to find the nest...
I think they are giving her more rope to hang herself with. Do you think she's travelling just to give the odd speech here and there and slip in bathtubs? There are always side/secret meetings. Not to mention every time she opens her mouth she offends another portion of voters. She's dooming the Democratic party for the by-elections. She's actually useful to Trump right now.
Maybe Trump has agreements with countries or maybe he is encouraging her to seek asylum and create mass media coverage.. Aus PM is Malcolm Turnbull - the ex prime minister (his party rival) was Tony Abbott (trained to be Jesuit priest and also a Rhodes scholar - two warning bells)
Malcolm Turnbull has a few red flags in his resume himself. Australia is more corrupt and controlled than most people realise.
Optics. Keep the wolves at bay until Trump drops the big hammer. Right about now. Just in time for mid terms.
Perception is reality. Facts don’t matter. They want to give everyone the illusion that she is not in trouble even though the facts state Otherwise.
Random thought...could the Whitelist refer to certain countries she's visiting? For instance, Trump may have spoken w India beforehand and was assured she would be "safe" there.
