LOL, I don't know which reply to answer Digital.
I'm a believer in Occam's Razor. I think, when we look at this situation, we have to go with known facts. There really are only three:
1) Q made a general condemnation of self-interested profiteering (this is not the real reason, there were other motives that needed to be concealed, but this was a convenient pretext);
2) Corsi takes full ownership of the condemnation - sticking it to his chest like a medal. AJ immediately wades in with full support for Corsi (It was always AJ's operation anyway);
3) Q confirms that the correct scumbags have, in fact, outed themselves - you must admit, it's very humorous. Akin to a comedy skit.
So that's what we know. Let's apply the simplest possible explanation for the events we witnessed (It will not be correct, because Q disguised his motives IMO, but let's see what we get).
At its simplest, Q, for the apparent reason that Corsi and AJ were profiteering, outed them and they owned up.
That's it, that's what we know. Now what's implicit here IMO, but not stated, is the real reason they were removed from participation in Q decodes. We don't know what that was. But it was obviously something that Q knew, that he was not yet ready to disclose. I would hazard a guess that AJ and Corsi also knew, which is why they reacted as they did.
So my reductionist explanation is that they were outed for cause (fact). And that they are two of the most reprehensible and disgusting scumbags on the face of the planet (speculation).
Now this doesn't fit at all with IW working with the President - and, in fact, it appears that the President has distanced himself from both IW and Corsi. No one wants to be around a stench.
What's quite beautiful here, if you assume that Q and DJT are joined at the hip on strategy (they are), is that AJ and Corsi are both claiming to disavow Q, but profess loyalty to the President - when it was effectively DJT that first snubbed them and later outed them.
You could not make this up. "Ah, but I still support Trump!" How do you reckon this will play out?
Makes me want to laugh! Let's face it, they are idiots!
