I'm honestly expecting a series of assassination attempts before then. They'll try to throw everything in the book, now. I'm sure Pence is getting tasty offers left and right . . . just as I'm sure he knows what would happen should he be tempted to accept one.
This Brennan issue is troubling. It's the Seattle missile thing all over again. He's setting up the expectation of something awful happening, and when it does they're hoping things get lost in the shuffle before anyone looks too closely . . . just like they did with the Mueller investigation. I'm sure they expected POTUS to fold quickly, not outlast and outmaneuver them.
