“As bad as it is the folks above the President make the decisions. They may have decided on Trump. These things do not happen by accident.” Thus spoke a high-level US business mover and shaker with secure transit in rarified Masters of the Universe-related circles, amidst the utter political chaos provoked by head of the FBI James Comey’s latest bombshell.
