When Barr first said “spring or early summer” I thought “hmm, maybe it’s a bit earlier actually”.
I had another small additional thought - by declaring a National Emergency with all the special powers that entails (which someone posted or at least a link to, and I did not read), that may very well facilitate dealing with arrests and any possible blowback. The Demsheviks and MSM (but I repeat myself) screeched that Trump wasn’t doing enough - so he’s doing a lot, and maybe they won’t like it...
And highly likely, in the midst of all that, Trump is employing his masterful dancing with Sun Tzu in whatever his plans are. I think Trump loves to cause the DIMRATS merciless whiplash.
