The Noose, Bubba, the FBI, and NASCAR

So after this noose with Bubba Wallace came up at Talledega....the FBI home office in Bama got the call.  They needed to investigate this.

So 15 FBI agents drive down to Talledega...in their black SUVs.

You can imagine the various guys and gals in this, and hoping....finally, they'd bust a big case in Bama, on racism and nooses.   This would have been a 20-odd page report, a thousand interviews, and maybe sixty photos. 

It does not appear that it took more than eight hours of work to determine that the noose thing and racism chatter....was a hoax. 

To be honest, I think you could have taken a retired veterinarian, a Piggly Wiggly clerk, and a transmission mechanic....they would have come to the same conclusion...in about an hour. 

I would guess that NASCAR gave the 15 FBI folks NASCAR hats, and free tickets to the race.  Probably the biggest adventure that any of them have had in a decade.....all about a fake noose.

Flynn's Revenge

As the smoke cleared yesterday....it's clear that General Flynn is now 'free'.  What happens now?  Recovery of his money spent on 'defense'.  He'll hire someone to add the amount up and verify the numbers.

Then, he'll send a letter to Barak Obama and hand him the bill (my humble guess, in the neighborhood of 2-to-3 million dollars).  He'll give him a month to assemble the money and pay the debt.

My guess is that Obama will hire a lawyer....get advice to pay nothing, and just wait.

So Flynn will open up a case against three characters....the FBI crew who interviewed him, Agent Strzok from the FBI, and President Obama.  Each group will be dragged into a room to make a statement. 

The new amount sought by Flynn?  It'll be in the 10-to-12 million range (figure in the damages amount).

The FBI folks will have to hire personal lawyers, and this will screw up their life savings. 

As for Barak Obama?  I think as the legal bills mount and he goes past the $500k range....he's going to ask his lawyer about the end-result, and it's going to be a harsh ending.

Legally, it'll go against the FBI guys, Strzok, and Barak Obama.  Flynn may only get his legal money and maybe a million dollars of damages.  But all of this will suggest serious problems with the Obama administration over the final three months of existence. 

The sad thing, if you think about the landscape of this....it's all behavior of a juvenile group, who just figured no one would ever figure out their secret 'game'.
