>Did they believed until last moment that report will be against Potus?
They thought the kids would be indicted.
DECLAS leveraged the kid's subpoenas while the SC was underway. I'm thinking foreign interests were telling dems not to go public with the subpoenas because they were complicit in the clusterfuck and Trump was crazy enough to drop the dime. NZ probably very complicit by allowing access to US intel to bad guys. NZ FF happened on day report was supposed to drop, I think. May be looking to build NZ sympathy or as a warning to the PM to hold the line. Notice Brexit deadline timing as well, here.
No leverage now for dems with subpoenas pulled so foreigners will to bail on them to save their own ass. Dems trying to resuscitate the talking point dynamic of DECLAS only being used hide POTUS's crimes, thus the, "We all know he's a criminal", bullshit, but it won't work.
