8) The mainstream media amazingly ignores that story even though it is a clear impeachable offense, but the alternative media spreads it far and wide.

9) We see Trump seemingly out of the blue the very next day after that report from Hersh, threaten Assad and Russia with claims of having "uncovered a plan by Assad to once again attack his own people with sarin gas for which there will be severe repercussions."

10) Many in the alternative media and Russia claim Trump appears to be creating a pretext for ramping up new military action against the Assad regime by making up a fraudulent claim.

I believe that the sudden outburst about uncovering a plot for a new sarin attack without confirmation from the military may be a safe way to signal to certain people in the Middle East, to let them know that Trump is ready to invade Syria. But because the recent military provocations didn't bait the Assad regime into attacking American forces - he needs a strong impetus to invade be provided for him. I believe the Hersh story has made Trump panic, if Hersh's claims can be proven then it is a prosecutable offense and Trump knows it. So I expect that we will see some kind of fraudulent proof appear to back Trump's claims, or maybe none will be provided to the public and he will simply make it "classified" and then invade. Or maybe his message to the Saudis and others in the Middle East will provide for him an atrocity that can be blamed on Assad.

UPDATE:This is the just released US diplomatic cable from Wikileaks, https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/880036713111986176
