Good. Let them think it'll happen. Won't matter when the truth comes out and people start getting arrested.
Perhaps, the leverage the DS had was greater than we thought. Maybe that's why there weren't any significant arrests of them. If you look at what's happening in D.C., it seems like they're preparing for an onslaught. But look at all that had to happen to get those defensive measures in place. Would they have been ready a month ago, or this past summer? No. And the result could have been catastrophic.
