Last edited Tue May 1, 2018, 09:28 PM - Edit history (2)

Although we don't know how it ends yet, things are shaping up. Who the characters will be, who the black hats will be, who the heroes will be.

The bad guys:
Trump
Kushner
Don Jr.
Ivanka
Eric Trump
Manafort
Flynn
Gates
Sessions
Cohen
McConnell
Paul Ryan
Grassley
Nunes
A handful of House reps & Senators
Hannity
Fox News

The heroes:
1. Mueller & team
2. Rosenstein
3. A few Dem. Senators & House reps (Schiff, Sen Mark Warner, Franken, & others)
4. Repub Sen Burr, chair of Senate Intelligence Committee (not much said about him, but appears to be leading a genuine investigation)
5. FBI Director Comey (the movie won't be about his press conf before the election, but about his actions re Trump...& the memos & testimony)
6. Washington Post
7. NYT
8. To a lesser extent, various tv media: Maddow, CNN, MSNBC
9. Some Repub pundits or journalists who defied the Party, some lost jobs (David Frum, George Will, Bill Crystal, etc.)

White hats, but not quite heroes:
AZ Sen. McCain
AZ Sen. Flake
Sen Bob Corker
Shep Smith of Fox News

Clowns & Bizarros:
Giuliani
Scaramucci
Roy Moore
Dr. Bornstein
Ronny Jackson
Carter Page
Spicer?

If you say so...I'm sure he did or said something. There are a lot of players in this drama.

They won't have major parts in the movie. The movie might show just clips of various of them. Could be any of them. Can't be all of them. There are too many! So I included the "various media" language.

But Steve Schmidt has been one of the most frank and with the strongest, straight-shooting language. I would hope they'd include him. Nicole Wallace was a surprise, wasn't she? Who'd have thought it, after her Bush years?

and the rabble for his eternal campaign rallies just to show his true base and the movie will be pretty balanced.

...I know he’s a dim memory now, but Sam was running around from news show to news show...6 weeks ago? - saying he was not ever going to go be interviewed by Mr. Mueller, EVER...and then he went to the interview...strange cat

Oh, is Roger Stone in the house??

They can't possibly fit all those people in the movie. Too many! But yeah, Sam Nunberg, for sure...as a bizarro. Roger Stone - a bizarro.

I'd put Bannon & Miller under the "bad guys" category. They had a hand in doing damage, so they aren't just wacko.
