The most coherent guess I can make with all this Kent drama... for whatever reason, he fell out of favor with the admin. He either stopped going to meetings or was politely asked not to come, for whatever reason. Leaking and the investigation, canary trap, maybe. Pissed off Susie Wiles or whoever because it's Game of Thrones all the time in politics? Maybe.
Kent gets pissed, reads whatever's on the wall, and decides to walk away "on his own terms" by dropping his resignation letter. Was it genuine? Was it a political play to own the messaging with the first rounds? I would believe both, and neither.
Admin responds by letting it slip that he was already under investigation, undermining a dissident for the current thing. And here we are.
I'll say this- I don't have any faith in the FBI or their investigations. Kent was pushing to look at the Kirk assassination, made his claims with Kash, and Kash shut him down. Was that the trigger for his slow burn to now? Who knows. Until this is not an investigation and actual charges with discovery for the world to see, I legit don't care that the FBI said he was "under investigation". That could mean absolutely nothing or be a nail in the coffin. As the late and great Mr. Biggs said, take that shit to trial.
This is in *no way* a shot at Kent, rather, an observation of the simple facts of the event. Kent came out and said we are fighting Israel's wars and his wife died because of another Israel-led initiative, and he made sure to list that in his formal resignation. That's super trendy to do right now on social media, and it's playing well in the "MAGA civil war" dramascope. He either has an unreal amount of receipts to back that up, or he's trying to read tea leaves and see where he's gonna land when this thing settles.
Guess we shall see.
Yeah, I largely agree. The whole thing is just very weird. In the scope of a couple months. How do you go from claiming Iran is a threat and has illegitimate and viable nuclear program to completely reversing that position?
The timing of the reported FBI investigation is also very suspect in light of the timing of his resignation letter. Not to mention that he was still in a job but lacked access.
I am usually pretty good at seeing a 30,000-ft view, and being able to see multiple perspectives. But this one? I'm stumped.
