It's happening because the Mueller probe is nearing its end and because the secret investigations we know about will soon become public.
These investigations have been reported in the mockingbird media, but they have not been incorporated in their "story". So, the brainwashed masses are unaware that McCabe, Baker, Comey and others are under investigation.
Once Mueller plays his cards, POTUS and his DOJ will play theres.
The difference will be that POTUS and his team are not bluffing.
