And now the Witch King knows enough to know Saruman's a traitor.

He knew where the Shire was.

He knew a lot about it.

And he would have shared that info had he really been a friend of Sauron, which leads me to this question.

It seems that Sauron has known that Sodom isn't to be trusted.

We don't have specifics as to exactly how much he knew, right?

We knew that he was daunting him through the use of the Palantir and that he knew he could read his mind when he was withholding information.

So that tells me that he knows a lot.

But it's only now that the Witch King is learning it.

Did Sauron just not communicate the fact?

Like, hey, when you go and talk to Sauron to get intelligence, you should know he might try to lie to you because he's been trying to lie to me.

That's a pretty important piece of information.

This is one of those conflicts that I'm like, he would have had to figure this out.

That's true, because he sent them out quite some months ago at this point, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, he does.

Because he knows that Saruman isn't really a threat.

Right, yeah.

I mean, and that's the thing.

I think he knows he's not a threat because even if Sauron were to get the ring, it's not going to do him any good.
