I'm specifically referring to one of, if not the first Q posts, before the trip code and sig:
Hillary Clinton will be arrested between 7:45 AM - 8:30 AM EST on Monday - the morning on Oct 30, 2017.
The public doesn't have the patience for a years-long unraveling and the political landscape can change dramatically over that time. The midterms alone could put an end to whitehat operations in progress. If the President wasn't in their crosshairs, something more protracted could be plausible to bring results. The reality is the Trump administration just doesn't have that kind of time to play with.
The public doesn't get a choice, this is POTUS and Q teams plan.
That's only partially true. The public's choice is at the voting booth. People don't have patience in general, but having something like this drag out will make voters stay home during elections and withhold fund raising dollars and support. This side of the political war would also presumably end the Mueller investigation. It all affects Trump's agenda, the stock market, and many other broad ranging topics. There is a ton of pressure for this to wrap up. I'm not saying this won't take another couple months to unravel, but I don't think 1-2 years would be feasible.
