True + True could make it a "dangerous" double game for GOPA wing politically, won't be surprised if orders came from upper management aka deep pockets with connections to players in both teams.
Still doubt that any Nixon style deal was cut with Biden team as fellow showbiz actor Edward Norton had theorized.
