if the FBI drops the pedophile bomb on DC, then DC would need a war-class distraction to occupy the front pages until after the election.
(It gives one cause to wonder if the FBI and NYPD have entered this possibility into their calculus...)
“Dropping the pedophile bomb” would be stunning even if there were no election in play.
There is no way the implicated elites would not do whatever they could to “change the subject”.
With the legion of media whores waiting for their next marching orders that would not be difficult to accomplish.
