German government gives no answers for spy chief's exit

So Ralf, you're thinking that Merkel's days are numbered and Schaeuble is manoeuvring to take over?

Possibly. Or he just wants to tighten his grip on the German deep state.

Honestly, I don't know. I never liked Schaeuble much but until now did not connect him to national security matters.


As an aside: Can it be that the DPF has overlooked the most important deep political event in Germany since Willy Brandt got ousted? The NSU?

I don't have the time to expand on this. Here is some information from 2011:

In the meantime, a number of witnesses and informants have died under, you guessed it, suspicious circumstances.
