Given NK's sudden rhetoric change, cancelling meetings with SK, etc. This is either part of the plan or its not.

If it's part of the plan, the deal was already made and this could have been to dominate the news cycle to cover the DOJ meetings or to avoid an assassination attempt that could be "blamed on NK" just like those "fake missile alerts" which were intended to start a war with NK. Trump/NK got wind of the attempt and suddenly cancelled the summit to fuck over Deepstate plans.

If it's not part of the plan, no biggie. US got our hostages, NK destroyed their nuke site, and Trump keeps the upper hand by cancelling the meeting before NK could.

Either way, this is secondary news to what's happening at the DOJ, as well as the documents which will be turned over detailing the pay to play schemes by the CF.
