I'm simply amazed that people are willing to just drop everything and believe everything he says with no common sense restraint.

Nobody is doing that. It's an exaggeration and distortion of what people are actually doing. Posting and discussing these things doesn't even mean anyone believes it at all, let alone that they believe it without restraint or skepticism.

I share your skepticism, not sure whose side Byrne is really on, to be honest. Hoping he's a smart guy who is helping Trump, and we just don't know the extent of what he's actually doing. But realistically, nobody knows.
