Not at all. Article shows exactly how the shadow govt was controlling everything: They had Sessions in their pocket (he was AG of Alabama so it isn't as if he didn't know better), Rosenstein through his own testimony did not oversee either Justice or the Special Counsel which left Tashina Gauhar in charge of main Justice and she worked for Holder and was Holder's 'wingman.' Holder links to Covington which links to Flynn, which likely means Gauhar (who left Justice for BOEING) suppressed the original Flynn 302. Sundance details her oversight and her attempted reach into unmasking requests at the NSC. Major linkage here.
