I don't know, but neither does anyone else, beyond assumption. The evidence I see of him being a controlled OP is basically just his past normal-tard opinions. Is that enough to condemn someone as controlled OP? Would brain-washed be a better fit? Black-mailed?

I was just reading last night how even George Bush actually went after the ADL once upon a time; had their offices raided, tried to prosecute the top guys and put the ADL under the foreign state controlled lobby label, which they should be, and which would've cancelled their tax exempt status and relationship with Law enforcement and intelligence agencies - he did it in his last month on the job after he knew it was over.

It could be there is black mail on Tucker that has compelled him to agree to stepdown quietly and maybe sign a non-disclosure about it. Too soon to tell though. I don't believe that every single thing we see such as this is pre-scripted to distract us. But controls will have been put in place in case someone needs to be reigned in.
