But the 30 high profile arrests didn't happen. There were no Senators. All of the initials - none arrested yet.
I think the basic story here is right, but I could have written 95% of it myself.
What I could not have done is what FBIanon did on July 2 - predict that there is a massive FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation involved with child trafficking. I still reread his transcripts all the time. Somehow, the man who answered those questions knew everything many months before the public. It's funny how he said so many things that confused me in October, but that make sense now - like the U.S. government funds ISIS.
Party1981, that issue is addressed. FBI Anon did a "bank shot" stating arrests were imminent, That was a ruse to create terror in Schumers heart, and Pelosi's heart and McCain and Graham, and they all reacted. Its an "art of War" tactic,
Brilliant!
Victurus Libertas is a truly great guy despite the fingernails on chalkboard mispronounced words. Watching Robert David Steele's videos and nodding my head in agreement.
It's been addressed, but the "bank shot" explanation is not fully convincing. I watched many of those senators speaking on the floor during Sessions' confirmation hearing. They were calm. They did not act like people who thought that Sessions would turn around and arrest them. It's basically a failed prediction. That's ok. Not every prediction has to be 100% accurate. But we have to be honest with ourselves when predictions turn out false. Saying "well I predicted X, but I was just lying as a bank shot" is a kind of ad hoc rationalization, confirmation bias. Don't succumb to that, or you'll lose your objectivity.
I have to disagree and here is why. Bank shot implies a tactic or strategy. Secondly, what senators do on TV and in front of an audience does not reflect what they may be feeling inside. How many performers show no nervousness on stage, but later say they were petrified. Finally, during confirmation hearings, who is to say that Pribus and others were not keeping the waters calm until their man got in? I saw Schumer acting very nervous and statements by him, Pelosi and others indicates to be that they were terrified. McCain and Graham were reticent to see Sessions in. I would say that in retrospect, Sessions appointment has been the most dramatic
Everything you are saying is a way to rationalize or justify the fact that the insider made a prediction and it turned out false. Perhaps you are correct that the lied, in the form of a bank shot. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't factor the failed prediction into our evaluation. Suppose the person makes another prediction. How will you know if it is true or not? If it comes true, you say he was telling the truth. If he becomes false, you say that it was a bank shot. Heads you win, tails I lose. The whole point of science is to test predictions. If you're not willing to do that honestly, you will not arrive at the truth. And that's what all of the citizen investigative journalists here are trying to do.
Ok, maybe I am not clear in my point, What I am saying is that you can look at it as a prediction, or you can look at it as a war tactic. As some others have pointed out, FBI anon may have been rattling cages, which is what Robert Steele says IC does all the time. If you want to infuriate an enemy into making tactical mistakes.....;)

This VL website gets some great scoops.
