I’m not an insider but I have a bi weekly poker game with a couple local tennessee alumni. Some I knew in school and some I’ve added to the group over time as we’ve met at events, etc.
One of the regulars is older than me and used to work in the communications business for a very well know company. He now lives outside of DC and is a lobbyist for the industry. Long story, but he’s good friends with a big booster.
He said Freeze’s name is at the top of the target list and has already been approached through his agent. Everything happening on the down low, trying to keep it quiet. If there is a denial by Fulmer and the boys it is likely a smoke screen.
I’m not sure what to make of it. I’ll try to feed him more drinks next time I see him and see if I can get an update.
