Maybe. Seems like the OIG first report came out right on schedule. McCabre’s “Decline to Prosecute” came out pretty routinely.
I’m willing to cut Barr a break, as he is the only one so far that has flat out stated there was spying by the other side. His only qualifier was “whether or not that was predicated,” ie. based on genuine law and evidence . . . which, of course, it is not.

I am too. But there is plenty of low haning fruit here. If there are not indictments by early fall we will know the fix is in. I am not optimistic given Graham’s and the GOP continued support of Mueller’s 16 angry Democrats.
I would posit none, for the simple reason that Trump isn't a true, actual leader; that is, he isn't a natural born killer. It's sort of a backhanded compliment, because it classifies Trump as a "normal" non-violent person. If we consider the significant primary characteristic that separate normals from leaders, it would be the will to power. That is, the reflective tendency to use violence as a means of achieving control objectives.
Ultimately, at a macro level, it's why the US was committed to its current path decades ago. Trump is an odd character, born of the media age, with wishful, fanciful ideas about 'what is good'. However, true leaders are never concerned about 'what is good', but rather 'what are the goals, and how do we use available power to achieve them?'.
That's why this is all kabuki - Trump simply doesn't have the organizational infrastructure to instill fear. And so it's done - we're just playing out a few years before the system snaps back into place to resume its current trajectory.
