All of this was necessary.
The large portion of America that believe the Russia narrative could only be dissuaded in this manner - an impartially appointed SC with the tacit approval of the entire DC swamp, media and 'education' exhaustively turning over every stone to determine an outcome. Only problem for them is that 2016 repeated itself. They lost. Yeah, they'll all squawk like raped eagles and fall all over themselves trying to destroy Mueller, but the damage is done. Their (swamp, media and 'education') credibility is shot. Done.
And because this proves that the narrative was false and those that drove the narrative are complicit, Trump has the green light to launch on them without the PR hit he would have taken were this process not to have happened.
Those that know the truth have wanted him to launch all along - declas, 'hang them', etc. John Q. Public and his bride Mary wouldn't have stood for that. It would have looked too political. Republicans aren't supposed to behave that way. They weren't ready. Instead the enemy has totally blown their load, if you will. Enough of the cards are on the table that recriminations can now begin. And the Trump team are now making such statements. NOW would be a good time for declas - it supports the outcome rather that having been just a wasted salvo. Trump could do some devastating damage at this point. His political instincts are very good.
You can see Mo shifting. We are now in a climate where you can see the people who invented this story, the people who pushed it, and all the bad guys in the media are in the cross hairs. And they know it. She wasn't supposed to lose. And this wasn't supposed to happen. They have committed sedition by its very definition - '
conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.'. Difficult to prosecute unless it is tied to insurrection - and there's plenty of that fomenting out there.
But again, all this had to happen the way it happened. The outcome was known to the good guys. There was little risk and the entire ballgame to gain. Trump is now the 'victim' in a lot of people's eyes. The light is green.
Remember that this is all about driving Trump's numbers down to the point that IF they were to impeach him, he wouldn't have the allies to survive (Nixon). They failed miserably. And his numbers will now probably start to rise (2020).
