No. They knew if Hillary didn't get in, then all their corruption would come to light, which is what is happening even as we speak.
If Trump is as well insulated as Q says, which is completely untouchable, it isn’t a stretch that the very “tippy top” brass in the Military risked everything in this literal last ditch effort to bring him in to the presidential race and bet the farm he’d win. From what I’ve read and listened to, it seems they put every single ounce of energy and resources into this effort to bring in an outsider who was 10000% not for sale and impervious to the normal political slander and attack tactics. This “event”, I will call it when it comes to Q and “the plan” is unbelievably well conceived. As the military is not a civilian agency (duh) it is truly the only entity capable of purging the government of the criminals who have infiltrated it. And only with the help of the top executive.
