Conspiracy theory 101...

It just came to me. All the talk about domestic terrorism is driving requests for the FBI to shift resources to the domestic terrorism unit.

But, consider where those extra agents will come from. They can't just go out and have a mass hiring.

No, I figure that all the necessary resources will probably come from the white collar crime unit, thus slowing the Trump investigations even more.

Talk me down, DU. Talk me down.

Nor, frankly, would it be surprising to see him try to stage some 'attack' in the near future.

With the requisite Iranian passport found miraculously intact, of course.

Anything to cling to power

"You sure this'll work. Mr. President?"

"Don't worry about it, Bill. Bibi's taking care of the whole thing for us - and he knows how to pull off good false flag attacks, believe me!"

Any conspiracy, of a large scale, always end when no one from the inside proves it. It always gets to the point where confirmation fails. Too hard to hide a secret among more than a few folks.
