If it all went down like you describe, I do wonder how they decided on Trump. I wonder what that whole process looked like. I'm picturing 4-5 high level military intelligence guys in a room wtih a white board. They're thinking, Ronald Reagan was the last time a real candidate broke through. We should look to people who are already famous, people who already have a following. Next, it has to be someone with no dirt on them (and since they have access to the NSA, they know who does). Next, it has to be someone with balls of steel, this isn't going to be easy. Next, it needs to be someone who can definitely win an election.
i wonder who else they considered recruiting besides Trump. Were any other names up for consideration after vetting all of these factors?
The only thing I know is that there was a theory floating around that Trump helped Rudy and the Feds to take down the mob in NY. It was supported by a document from the feds that an unnamed real estate mogul aided them as an informant.
If this group includes some of those Feds, and/or Rudy himself, then the connection seems plausible to me. More so now than it did back in 2016.
I think that's pretty simple. They needed someone who was a) hugely famous and popular and b) clean. That's a very short list, but Trump has been known as a straight shooter for decades.
