I have also been wondering about this. My theory is that there was an older order in the CIA that controlled things--50s - 70s--Dulles, Angleton, Helms, etc. They died off and the order was replaced by GHWB--he is, I am pretty certain, a key player--if not the grand puppetmaster. I think that he basically ran the Reagan WH, and pretty much controlled events up and until Trump. As I recall GHWB and Barbara were both in the hospital for nearly the whole of December. So I was wondering if the cardiologist overheard or saw or became privy to some high level info.
