I know it provides a stead flow of red meat to FR, but the entire Spygate coup needs to be evaluated within the context of Trump's MAGA agenda.

To reiterate, the goal of MAGA is comprised of basically three nationalistic ideals: economy, defense (border) and (rule of) law.

To the extent that prosecuting Hussein's administration for treason can help achieve those objectives, then it should continue to be front and center. There's two means to that end, the first is political, the second Lincoln.

For now, Trump is using the continual exposes to help advance the chances of a 11/2018 sweep. That's the easy way, and currently, the most effective means. However, it cannot be ignored that the Lincoln option is also present. No one should forget that a coup attempt is an act of war; that means treason.

So, let's see how the elections play out. Who cares what happens to Hussein's crew if the SC is packed with conservatives, major legislation is passed (eg terminating DoEd), FBI/CIA are revamped ceiling to floor, etc.

As long as they are more useful as boogey men, then that's how they will be leveraged. We are so long past the stage of whodunit - now, it's simply a function of how to maximize the political payoff.

I say, trust Trump. That mofo has played this thing perfectly.
