Let me just float a theory about why the announced Dec. 9 date for release of the IG report may actually be genuine. The Dems are planning to vote on impeachment around that time. They are not likely to stage any events to distract from what they see as a propaganda win for themselves. By releasing the IG report at roughly the same time, they use the cover of the impeachment vote to release at a time when there will be no false flags or staged events (i.e. funerals). The House will vote to impeach (which is what POTUS wants) but it will not be the narrative win they’ve been banking on. In fact their narrative is already falling apart. The IG release will completely steal the thunder from the impeachment vote and will expose the Dems in the process.
I like your scenario. Fingers crossed.
