Something many have wondered.
Two probable reasons:
1. They were waiting to see if Trump would survive the coup attempt
and
2."Now our new president has of course not been in this line of work before. And I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process" McConnell said.
We shall see if the exceedingly slow moving wheels of justice in fact grind true in the end.
1. the white hats probably had most of this info in near real time
2. trump had the election in the bag. the next hurdle was obtaining political “street cred” which trump finally got with the tax cut bill.
3. with his new political “street cred,” trump can now face his worst political enemies with the political ammo that he has been sitting on for a year
imho (speculative) the wall and obamacare repeal should have passed, but did not because the deep state wanted to keep trump deprived of political “street cred” while the hillary et al kept chewing away at his base using the MSM, Congress, Mueller, etc. at some point the deep state hoped to get lucky... trump lost his losers but boxed the deep state in with the tax cut bill, which both his base and wall street favored.

Thanks, rxsid, for posting the above.
That has been on the back of the minds of a few of us.
More than likely, a some key Republicans were were warned that our Intel had some bad stuff on candidate, president elect and President Trump! So any support from them for
Trump was weak if at all.
That may be changing as the Trump/Russia bs is dying down.
