They weren't shy about making public statements when they were selling their books. Maybe they could come back on Deadline White House to either calm us down or scare us even more. Bet they have some idea what this is about.

We're assuming they were to hurt Trump. Could have been the other way around.

the fake story didn't write itself. the connection to Strzok didn't spontaneously appear from the aether. someone put it there.

who? what? where? when? why? seems like questions an aspiring journalist might ask.
