The question is why the Trump campaign/Trump
administration didn’t smoke him out before the elections.
Maybe they did. He was certainly on their radar with the Lerner collusion and refusal to testify. Who knows, maybe they already flipped him and this resignation frees him up to make contacts. Fun fantasy, anyway. But you know his cohorts have got to be wondering the same. Persona non grata in any circles. If nothing else, it’s some small satisfaction to imagine the paranoia now consuming swamp creatures, big and small.
