This may be an unpopular observation, but I don't think there is a single person, anywhere, who actually knows the full scope of what is going on. Not FBIAnon, not George Webb, not Steve Pieczenik, not Comey, not even Podesta or Hillary. I also don't think there is anyone who can make a comprehensive deal. You can't give a grant of immunity to literally thousands of people, most of whom you don't even have names for, who belong to dozens of competing criminal enterprises.

Notice how the Democrats use all kinds of random people in their various "ratlines," including Bob Creamer, MS-13 gangsters, Pakistani ex-ISI spooks, and on and on. That was just as true 24 years ago, when the FBI was shown to have harassed witnesses in the Vince Foster case. They used Park Police, people from their technical offices, freelance consultants, and so on, and it was clear that many of them had no idea why they were targeting these particular witnesses or even what case they were witnesses in. See Patrick Knowlton's website for more on this.

The sheer number of interested parties in the pay-to-play mess ALONE boggles the mind. The Clintons have been extorting bribes out of people for decades: The Chinese, the Russians, the Saudis, the Pakistanis, literally everywhere on Earth where there is money and power. And the same goes for John McCain, the Bush family, Chuck Schumer, and so on.

I think there probably are people having behind-the-scenes conversations of the type Hodges describes, trying to get their arms around it. I hope there are, anyway. It would be a positive sign. But this mess looks to be beyond the capacity of even its key participants to comprehend, much less negotiate. I've said before, the people we are hunting are not friends or even reliable allies. There is no monolithic "They," in the sense of a bunch of people working toward the same end, directed by a central intelligence, with a common interest above and beyond their various corrupt or demented agendas.

I may be in a small minority here, but I don't see this as a conspiracy of Globalists, or Satanists, or Freemasons, or anything that you could describe with a single name. It's less of a coherent conspiracy than it is an insanely bloated kind of opportunistic corruption. Who "really" runs American foreign policy? Despite the huge bribes they pay, it isn't the Saudis or any of the Clinton Foundation's other clients. It wasn't Obama. It isn't Dick Cheney and his corporate pals.

Nobody is in charge. Nobody CAN be in charge. That's how I see it, anyway.
