Persuasion. Role of Lin Wood appears to be getting officials rattled. Whip up a cloud of dust of uncertainty on what they've got or don't actually have. The Trump camp does not have the media to lie on their behalf. They do have some legal prosecutors accustomed to bluster in the courtroom to take bulldog position. Suppressing fire while team members get into better position.
In Snowden's exposure of domestic spying intrusions on 4th amendment rights we learned of the practice of parallel construction in use by FBI and government law enforcement agencies. There's procedure that if illegal information gathering were used, a violation of rights has occurred and case should be tossed. Law enforcement were discovered to routinely be illegally collecting information on fishing expeditions. If they decided to prosecute, the information learned would then be used to guide a parallel investigation collecting documentation that plausibly might show a legal investigation occurred. That fictitious parallel construction is then presented to the star chamber to do away with those they decided to march into a show trial that day.
I think we should assume that's the rules of the game now. By allowing parallel construction to continue, other parties need to also engage in the practice or have any power stripped from them. Engaging in the behavior is now just one more of the rules for power to get anything done in the swamp.
Figures like Flynn who have seen it all can provide guiding toward a parallel construction. That value provides strong incentive to Trump's opponents to do anything to keep Flynn silenced and off the battlefield. Since Flynn has seen everything from his view from the top at the NSA, he in theory could tip off where or what to look for and where to sue to discover compromising information. We see only the small bit is exposed above the surface while a more complicated dance between parties who see more than they let on takes place in the shadows. In 5D chess pieces, Flynn is a Queen.
Suppose some of what Lin Wood puts out is true but can't be legally proven. Would rattle those involved and maybe influence their behavior. Have them scrambling to double-check and cover tracks. Maybe that reaction uncovers something unknown? Suppose it's completely made up. Lin Wood's expertise is where the line can be found in libelous statement thus could push that line to its limits. Maybe other parties don't know if it's true or not but assume maybe it is and distance from Roberts. Lin collaborating with Flynn provides powerful way to bluff your political opponent with high stakes on the table.
We can't really tell. Have to wait for information and watch.
And I agree. These taunts are meant to provoke reactions in the enemy. Our actual movements won't be broadcast.
Just by saying you know something without revealing the source, the enemy will doubts its own ranks and security. They will also not know how much more you know, so their strategic decisions will be hampered.

Thanks for this. Best thing I've read all week.
