My guess is that Mueller “investigation” will drag on, which will continue to reel in some small fish surrounding president Trump through court (AND opinion court) that have nothing to do with Trump-Russia Collusion.

Then, BAM!!! Mid-October they’ll produce a smoking gun allegation to swing the 2018 mid-term, hoping to usher in a Dem controlled Congress.

Then we can kiss Trump agenda good-bye. If Republican Congress truly want to win, they have to go bold like there’s no tomorrow right now. (Sigh) But they won’t.

Trump can do his own October surprise if that happens by declassifying a bunch of stuff.

I agree with you. The "smoking gun" won't even have to be real. It'll just have to be timed to affect the election. I'm shocked that a time limit of August 1 was not put on the investigation, telling them to write a report. That would've been the last chance to keep the bogus investigation from influencing the election. And revocations of more security clearances? I'm disappointed that there wasn't major news this AM that President Trump had issued at least 20 of them over the weekend. He's giving the maniacs time to find a rogue judge to stop him. Just like Afghanistan. He gave the military planners "a little more time" and we're still there a year and a half into his administration. And Kavanaugh? Why the heck wasn't he confirmed before summer break? This is time to give anti-Trumpers the opportunity to find or invent dirt about him.

These are "in the FR family" concerns. We always knew that to obliterate the Deep State, decisive, swift action would be needed. Trump, I thought, had that trait. So why are all of these things dragging out to the point of failure?
