Tactics in Florida:
- construct a cage on a flatbed truck, have a person in costume as Hillary in a prisoner uniform inside, impressive enough to be mimicked by a man in Cape Coral.
- organized "Florida Goes Trump" campaign rallies held in 20 cities, with oddly worded news releases, like "
On August 20, we want to gather patriots on the start of Floridian towns and cities and march to unite America and support Donald Trump!"
- Russian-linked Facebook group "Being Patriotic" sent messages to followers like "
Florida is still a purple state and we need to appoint it red"
LA makes an excellent point that the Mueller investigation could lead us in quite a different direction than expected. This is absolutely a new Cold War, and make no mistake - the Russians will/would turn on Trump, just like they riled up both sides of the BLM with different Facebook groups on both sides (complete with some awkward English).
If this ends up leading far deeper, into the campaign, then Mueller is showing he's pretty damn smart in bringing these unexpected indictments to keep off balance the forces trying to get him canned & the investigation halted.
Releasing these late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend suggests a PR strategy to keep this as low profile as possible, so as to not inflame Trump any more than necessary, but signal to Congress that Mueller is finding information they should want to see explored, not terminated.
How will Hannity & Nunes deal with THIS? The (I think contrived) story about Deep State in the corrupt FBI out to undermine Trump has taken on urban myth status on the right. What will be the Right media's narrative on these indictments?
Later this evening, more indictments on Manafort, with details suggesting fraud, possible money laundering.
