So I think I may have finally figured it out. Over in DC with all the legal advisors and classified intel it may be easy for Q team to be patient, knowing all the details of the plans, but this has been an excruciating wait without knowing what the goal is and I think I know why now.

“Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself.”

"Senate was the target"

"Hunter's become the hunted"

"Discovery"

I think the impeachment trial was the goal from the start. Q team have the intel on the deep state's plans and knew that they were aiming for impeachment and so they just had to let them get to impeachment and as long as they don't have the votes in the senate to remove Trump then Trump wins and can use the trial to present evidence against the deep state.

We won't get a trial unless Nancy Pelosi submits the articles of impeachment to the senate but as long as Pelosi doesn't submit the articles of impeachment, Trump technically hasn't been impeached but Trump wants the trial anyway which means he's actually willing to be officially impeached in order to get this trial.

If that's not 4D chess then I don't know what is.
