WILBUR ROSS REDUX

There has been a flurry of Wilbur Ross headlines this week:

• "  Trump rips Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for sleeping on the job botching           trade deals"                                                                                                                                                                                        NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
• "Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' propensity for falling asleep at meetings is not helping his standing in the eyes of President Trump, 'Wilbur is good until about 11 a.m.',one former administration official admitted. "                                                                                                                                                             THE WEEK Magazine   

                                                                                                                                                                       POWER NAPPER

• "Trump Has Soured on Wilbur Ross, Who Can’t Stay Awake at Meetings"                                                                                                  NEW YORK Magazine
• “Trump Angry With 81-Year-Old Wilbur Ross Repeatedly Falling Asleep in Meetings"                                                                          AXIOS
• "Wilbur Ross was a no-show at his panel this morning during the World Economic Forum in Davos"                                                                                                                                                                                   Danielle Paquette,Washington Post             and

• Politico's Eliana Johnson tweeted   

"source... responded that not only has Wilbur Ross fallen asleep at every meeting he’s been in... but that he drools - and uses his tie to clean it up."

                  All in last two days.    This appears Orchestrated.     So what gives?

Some might assume that the WH is leaking as a prelude to dumping Ross even ahead of hapless Tillerson--remember him?

Cyclops thinks not. As regular followers of Cyclops may recall:

• Ross and Putin Oligarchs own The Bank of Cyprus.
•  BofC suspected as conduit for major Russian money laundering.
• Ross is close personal friend,confidant and collaborator with bank Chairman Dr.Josef Ackermann.
• Ackerman was CEO of Deutche Bank when the bank lent Trumpski Inc. $330 million.
• Jared Kushner's family business got a Deutche loan of $275 million for 666 Fifth Ave, when ALL the US banks turned him down.
• Ross is also reputed to have brokered Trumpski's Mar a Lago $100 million sale [$40million,70% profit in 3 years] to Ross’s co director at Bank of Cyprus Bank:   DmitryRybolovlev.

Ross knows too much for Trumpski to sack or humiliate.

He is due to be interviewed by Mueller's hot forensic accounting and money laundering teams.

He fears shopping Trumpski or [more dangerously]Putin et al.

AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY 
might be that Ross is preparing an ALTZHEIMER  DEFENCE.

• Vincent Gigante head of the Genovese family in New York, known as the“Odd Don”, pursued such a strategy for over a decade back in the 1990's                                                                                                  http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/19/obituaries/vincent-gigante-mafia-leader-who-feigned-insanity-dies-at-77.html
• Ross,at 81,could claim to be too old and confused to remember.

                                    VINCENTGIGANTE                       WILBUR ROSS

• Too confused to understand the questions.
• Too ill to be interrogated for more than 20 minutes at a time.
• Falling asleep and slobbering in important meetings would be proof of his rapidly enveloping dementia.

1. Odd that these stories should appear just after his lawyer has been approached to schedule meetings with the Mueller Team. 
2. Perhaps Ross will resign within the month and be whisked off to a Sanitarium in Switzerland for intensive, LONG TERM, treatment.
3. Hoping Mueller will not follow.
4. Trumpski sure hopes so.
5. Jared too.

P.S.

Between 1985 and 1999 Vincent Gigante and Wilbur Ross lived within a block of each other in Manhattan
