I regret seeing this list pass along political suspicions  behind certain actions by the NLS. 
Political  suspicions are just that, both political and suspicions. The very same  accusations were made during the Obama  administration ... remember the IRS and DOJ accusations?
So, how about everyone  postulating these underlying reasons just hold them to yourself and close friends. I am probably not alone being  irritated by them all ... both sides ...  every side ... every time.
