don't we already know who the mole is

[u/Shifty-Sie → u/finnjakefionnacake]

Yeah I thought it was really clear that Councilman Prime was the mole. We saw him turn off life support.

[u/ken_tempo → u/Shifty-Sie]

I don't get why so many people are saying this. Why, as the mole, would he inform someone who had no reason to suspect him in the first place? Especially if being the mole meant that he would know a Viltrumite squad was already on its way to handle that same person?

Turning off Allen's life support only shows us that Thaedus is willing to kill him (or simply risk his safety as that would be an extremely lame death) for some greater purpose. It comes off as a red herring for people who don't think about it too much.

[u/Protocx → u/ken_tempo]

Seems like the perfect alibi especially if he has a way to prove he told Allen there was a mole. No one would suspect him. He might have just been betting on Allen telling someone about his mission too. It wasn't a guarantee but it wouldn't hurt not to try.

He can basically just say "How can I be the mole if I was the one told Allen about a potential mole?"
