Yeah, that makes sense, though I can't see how it requires some high-level strategic meeting of the minds to come up with the "let Fox News and the right wing media griftosphere do its thing and have 100% of Republicans believing every word of it by sundown" strategy. It was obvious what the end result was going to be and that the fix was in the moment that a convicted child rapist like Maxwell was moved from prison to a luxury resort immediately after meeting with the DOJ. They'll have zero trouble convincing the base.
