Am I alone in my theory that a vast majority of the heavy lifting was already done before Q made their first drop?
They had nearly a full year from election day until October 28, 2017.
With my background in MI, common sense tells me that you don't whisper a word about an op of this massive size and scope until after the cat is in the bag, interrogated, tried, chipped and set "free" to commit new crimes while being tracked and recorded.
Also, Q said, "You are watching a well scripted movie", so the plot and ending must have already been secured.
Lastly, by cutting their Chain-of-Command, communications and finances, and taking over their social media accounts, setting them "free" and watching/recording them as they run amuck in desperate attempts to regain control would be delicious.
p.s.: Giving them the House was brilliant. They can do no real harm as Senate (53-47) will shit all over their crazy ideas, while exposing their true motives to the public surely made for "must see TV"!
