In the story of spygate, Adm. Rogers waits 10 days after election for an SCIF to be set up and meet with President elect Donald Trump to alert him that he is being spied on.

It takes 10 days to set up an SCIF according to Dan Bongino. Start at [10:45]

10 days of darkness might have some more meaning than I thought.
