Part 1 of my conspiracy theory assumes that when Candidate 45 fired James Comey, he learned a little life lesson from the heat he took. Not that I usually give 45 the credit to learn anything new, but it's an assumption that must be made in order for the rest to fall into place.
Part 2 is based on the fact that 45 was pretty darn upset at Jeff Sessions recusing himself from all things having to do with the Russian investigation. It almost seemed like at one point he would like to have replaced Sessions as well, but he didn't go straight for the jugular with Sessions like he did with Comey. This appears to be the first sign that he learned a little lesson.
Part 3 the Bannon exit. While Steve Bannon was apparently ousted from his position as chief strategist, I'm not convinced this wasn't actually part of a plan between 45 & Bannon to allow Bannon to be more effective at manipulating things and throwing certain politicians under the bus without putting pressure on the white house.
Now, there's suddenly a run off between the two republicans in Alabama for Jeff Sessions vacated Senate seat. On one hand you have the already appointed Luther Strange and on the other a somewhat dark horse candidate, Roy Moore, not in the sense that he was an unknown but in the sense that he leans towards what I call the dark side of conservatism. His opinions after all are a little scary.
Candidate 45 backed the incumbent Luther Starnge, but Bannon backed Roy Moore. A lot of 45's base are very much aligned with the opinions of Bannon. It almost seemed to me that 45 chose Strange to give the appearance of choosing someone safe and sane, while Bannon backed someone a little crazy (imnsho). In the end crazy won. So now the race moved on between the Crazy guy and the democrat.
Suddenly all of these women start making accusations of sexual harassment against Roy Moore. Moore denies it. Moore's wife meanwhile makes claims that she has some kind of proof that someone is paying these women to come forward. This is proof I haven't seen, but if it exists and if it's true... who might be willing to pay to have these women come forward, stories true or otherwise?
Now there's talk of a write in candidate to try to beat Moore, but who? Jeff Sessions name is floated out there. Sessions is very popular in Alabama and a lot of republicans don't want to vote for the democrat, but also don't want to vote for Moore if these accusations are true. So maybe Candidate 45 asks Sessions to vacate his AG seat and run as a write in for the Alabama seat for the good of the party.
Even if Sessions doesn't do this, if Moore wins there's already talk of the senate voting him out. In which case a new Senator would be named and that would also be an opportunity for 45 to suggest Sessions for the job. $5 gets rid of Sessions without firing him and gets to name a new AG, who will now get to limit the power of the special investigator Robert Meuller.
So A. is Bannon just doing his job to help set up a scenario where Sessions could legitimately be asked to fill a senate seat for the good of the party? And B. is 45 playing us all by first supporting Strange, almost knowing he wouldn't beat Moore and then setting up Moore for a hard fall from grace so he could move Sessions into the senate?
There's a lot of moving parts to all of this and to assume they could all have been orchestrated by the biggest buffoon I can think of (Candidate 45) is a little hard to believe, but with Bannon the master manipulator, it becomes a little more believable. And Bannon also has the resources to find these accusers and probably to even pay them, if in fact they were paid and didn't come out simply because they felt it was their duty.
I know it all sounds too crazy to be true, but sometimes crazy is exactly what is going on in front of our very eyes. Let me know what you think.
