I have been wondering about the timing what with the absence of Q drops.
************************************************************
I too think some things will be timed to have maximum impact on the mid terms. However, there will also be logistical and legal timing issues too.

For example, the executive order regarding changes to the Military Justice Codes that Trump signed had an effective date of Jan. 2019.

In addition, the new judges and AGs throughout the states need to be in place before arrests start, so I really haven’t expected many arrests or indictments until 2019.

Interesting, thanks for posting that reference. I had to look it up https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2018-amendments-manual-courts-martial-united-states/

The last section caught my eye:

Sec. 12. In accordance with Article 33 of the UCMJ, as amended by section 5204 of the MJA, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, will issue nonbinding guidance regarding factors that commanders, convening authorities, staff judge advocates, and judge advocates should take into account when exercising their duties with respect to the disposition of charges and specifications in the interest of justice and discipline under Articles 30 and 34 of the UCMJ. That guidance will take into account, with appropriate consideration of military requirements, the principles contained in official guidance of the Attorney General to attorneys for the Federal Government with respect to the disposition of Federal criminal cases in accordance with the principle of fair and evenhanded administration of Federal criminal law.

I think there is also a strategic reason for the delay in the Manafort trial.
