Fitzgerald's Beanball Metaphor

At his Friday press conference, Patrick Fitzgerald used a baseball metaphor, but left it to us to devine its implications...

If a pitcher hits a batter in the head, he said, then you try to figure out what is in his head. Was he trying to hit him? Brush him back? Wild throw?

But what if several pitchers hit the same batter in the head? Wouldn't you then look at the pitching coach and the manager and try to figure out what is in their head... Not too difficult in this instance to figure out who the pitching coach(VPOTUS) and manager(POTUS) are in this instance... nor is it too difficult to figure out what is in their heads. It's called a conspiracy to bean Valerie Wilson. And if the whole team is trying to throw sand in the umpire's eyes, well that is called a conspiracy to obstruct justice... I'd be surprised if Fitzgerald does not get the implications of his own metaphor.
