Just watched the NP and CS statement after POTUS's announcement. Impression is that the cabal had called in serious markers on NP and CS and they were giddy that POTUS let them off the hook. POTUS is giving them a chance to flip. That's the reason for the "cave". Whether they will flip remains to be seen. POTUS holds the hammer even if they don't. NP and CS are up shit creek without a paddle and they know it. Damned if they do and damned if they don't.
