Wanted to get this out right away as I did not see another diary on this. Don’t know how much stock to put in this, but Brent Budowsky at The Hill is opining on the possibility of another “deep throat” who is working with Mueller, and giving up the goods: thehill.com/...
Watching the imbroglio unfold about the new Michael Wolff book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," the most interesting question is whether Robert Mueller and his special counsel team have been working behind the scenes with a Deep Throat-like witness from within Trump circles who has provided evidence to their investigation about Russia.
While it is unclear how the Trump Tower meeting came to the FBI’s attention, but The Hill cites “Fire and Fury” to refer to Bannon’s statements that after such a meeting took place it should have been reported to the FBI, insinuating that perhaps, someone DID go to the FBI.
Similarly, of the various people in Trump circles who learned of the Russian operation to destroy Clinton and elect Trump, did any of them go to the FBI with that information?
It is certainly possible that one or more of them did, in which case, that person or persons would be our modern Deep Throat, providing the FBI and Mueller with bombshell information at a much earlier stage in the investigation than is currently known.
While the author of the article is somewhat critical of “Fire and Fury,” he does acknowledge that the book has performed an invaluable service: raise serious questions about the legitimacy and efficacy of the Trump regime and the folks within it:
We do know, from multiple sources reported by multiple news organizations, that there are a number of individuals close to Trump who have grave misgivings about important aspects of the Trump presidency. The Wolff book does perform one service of bringing this subject to the center of national discussion.
Is there a Deep Throat source hovering in the background of the investigation that we will learn about later? As a patriotic American, I sure hope so.
From his lips to God’s ears that there IS someone who is decent and patriotic enough to say, “ENOUGH ALREADY!!” Personally, I am hoping that the assistant legal counsel who knew that the crap going down on Air Force One was obstruction and quit, could be that fellow. Although The Hill is not my favorite, it seems to have a “finger on the pulse” of events as they are unfolding. Though we don’t know (yet) what Mueller knows, we all need to keep in mind that he knows (or now should know) A HELL OF A LOT about this Crime Family and their misdeeds. Don’t forget, Mueller now has documents from Deutsche Bank and the Trump Organization — crossing the “red line” Drumpf drew in the sand — it’s only a matter of time before we all know what he knows . . . . Keep the faith.
