just gonna reply to myself with a text dump of the Brian Cates twtr (@drawandstrike) thread:
I'm still laughing my ass off at those who think the entire plot was exposed, aired out in public for the last year and a half so that……….
[can you believe this? I mean, really?]
they can let all the plotters walk away.
My God some people are dumb.
Remember what I told you earlier - I wrote columns about it. The Trump admin strategy on the SpyGate investigations/prosecutions/indictments is not to comment or even acknowledge their existence until they are ready.

NOW READ THIS LETTER from Reps. Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows, in which they demand new AG William Barr give them an update on the criminal referral they made to the DOJ about Andrew McCabe more than a year ago.

NOWHERE in their letter do the two House Reps even mention or acknowledge the fact *there's already a grandy jury investigation of McCabe being led by US Attorneys.
The existence of that grand jury was revealed in a leak last September 6.

Note they don't ask for any update on the GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION into McCabe that had been meeting for 'months' by the time it was revealed last September.
If these guys are playing a role of being clueless, they are doing a really great job of it.

Look at the opinion polls on SpyGate.
THE GROUND HAS BEEN PREPARED.
The majority of those polled now understand what happened.
A year and a half ago, was that true?
OF COURSE NOT.
The constant drip-drip-drip rollout of the plot, carefully managed, has done it's work
If Trump launched major prosecutions in 2017, without public support & tried to explain after the fact, how well would that have worked, do you think?
Even mid 2018 the ground wasn't ready yet.
But now it is.
Many commentators never had any real faith in Trump to begin with, and are right now spinning tales about how he's stupidly been fooled again by appointing Barr, etc. etc. argle bargle barf.
You just got done watching Trump epically troll DC over the wall funding. He knew all along he was going to get the $ from the DoD as CinC and Congress couldn't do jack to stop him.
How many MONTHS did it take him to set that up?
What we call "SpyGate" is more massive and far reaching than most of you know. I've tried to explain the actual scope of this several times, then I gave it and decided to just let it happen.
U1
Russian moles
Massive bribery scandals
Illegal spying on Congress.
Entire CIA networks being rolled up.
Massive exposure of top classified intelligence, including Special Access Programs.
Most people have NO IDEA this goes far beyond just spying on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
People who keep screaming "Well hurry up already!!!!" have no idea of the real scope and how far reaching this is.
This had to be carefully managed to avoid a societal collapse. I am not joking.
When you begin rolling all this out, the ground has to be ready or there will be massive upheaval.
The extent and depth of the corruption is staggering. Trump had to solidfy control of fed. agencies chock full of spies and saboteurs.
That was literally ALL of 2017, part 2018
When this gets rolled out, Democrats, DNC Media, Never Trump, etc. are going to realize that it's really being done, they're serious about not just airing all this stuff out but also about prosecuting the people that did it, they are going to TRY to literally start a civil war.
So people who say Trump & his team 'should have' pulled the trigger on this back in 2017 were always clueless.
They didn't understand the extent of this and that country ITSELF hangs in the balance if this is mishandled.
So no, the perps are NOT going to be allowed to walk away scott free after all that they were doing has been fully exposed to the public.
But the public exposure had to come FIRST and had be accepted by MOST of the public before taking the next step.
And people who can't see that or accept that have more problems than I can help them with.
Trump knows what he's doing.

ADDENDUM: forgot a point I was going to make.
In 2017 we had ANTIFA holding major riots in many large cities, remember THAT?
Now thanks to Sessions & others, they were dispersed and now only cause problems in deepest blue places like Portland, Oregon.
you're the one with the mike, yeah? cute.
