I dunno. But I heard that and was like 'oh?' Why now?

An unannounced trip to SA on the weekend when a sealed indictment was secured. JK is a 'trusted' advisor - wouldn't the WH need to close ranks and figure next steps? If so - is that one of them? If JK is off negotiating with a foreign nation as part of his assignment to fix the Mid East - is this the best time? News is full of this info. WH has like 0 power to negotiate internationally today. I'd chill on that today and lay low. But he flew to SA. Unannounced. For what?
