KABUKI THEATER?
WHAT IF these two years between President Trump and Jeff Sessions were, in fact, Kabuki Theater?
“Kabuki is a classical Japanese dance drama. Kabuki theater is known for the STYLIZATION OF ITS DRAMA AND FOR THE ELABORATE MAKE-UP WORN BY SOME OF ITS PERFORMERS.”
This is NOT original to me by any means. I and a few others have put together information and, yes, pure speculations, from others to come to what MAY BE a logical scenario constructed in the brilliant mind of one Donald John Trump and his closest associates.
How can I apply the term “brilliant” to the man 95% of the America press continue to view as a buffoon? This “buffoon” is so stupid that since BEFORE his election he has been living rent-free in their heads as he drives these largely leftist fools increasingly insane.
Now for the “WHAT IFS”.
WHAT IF Trump and Sessions, both incensed by the arrogant James Comey’s July 15, 2016 (4 months BEFORE the 2016 election), UNPRECEDENTED press conference during which he read a comprehensive and compelling list of illegal actions by candidate Hillary Clinton, at the end of which Comey declared that she would not be charged?
WHAT IF both Trump, Sessions and unknown others understood that Comey’s action made clear that a level of ROT existed at the very top of what had once been a respected law enforcement agency? It was clear to Trump and Sessions that Comey’s action was an attempt to smooth her path to the White House for the woman all the polls declared would win the election and who, once in office, would be in a position to protect Comey and others from legal action for their violations of their oaths to uphold the law?
WHAT IF, once in office, Sessions and a cohort of trusted and vetted associates began investigating the details of the rot within the DOJ/FBI and set to work quietly and under the radar of those suspected of complicity in the plot to clear Clinton, assembled fact patterns and evidence of their guilt?
WHAT IF, as sufficient evidence accumulated, Sessions et al, quietly presented those cases to special grand juries remote from the well known political bias extant in Washington, DC? And, if those grand juries voted for INDICTMENT of the parties at issue, because of the sensitivity of the matters at issue, WHAT IF those INDICTMENTS were SEALED, to be SIMULTANEOUSLY opened at some future date in order to prevent any of the parties from absconding?
(The internet has been filled with posts by an entity calling himself “QAnon”alleging that 5,000 or more such sealed indictments repose in federal courts around the country.)
WHAT IF, to disguise Sessions’ activities and keep the parties under investigation and their allies in the Democrat party off balance, Trump began to publicly criticize Sessions for his seeming failure to perform his duties as head of the DOJ?
WHAT IF, once Sessions has all those that could be identified as complicit indicted, to further advance the ruse, Trump fires Sessions?
And the final WHAT IF:
Instead of moving Deputy AG, Rod Rosenstein (an alleged Clinton partisan who was less than forthcoming in several congressional hearings) into the top slot, Trump appoints Sessions’ former Chief-of-Staff, Matt Whitaker who, it has been alleged, declared that he WOULD HAVE PROSECUTED HILLARY and commented publicly that “Mueller’s probe has gone too far.”?
He sounds like just the guy to star in the next act of what just may be the last act of Trump’s elaborate and clever Kabuki Theater, the title of which could be “DISMANTLING THE DEEP STATE”.
