Likely Ratcliffe has already made his report to Trump and they are strategizing invoking the insurrection act as we speak. Since the report does not have to be made public there may not even be an announcement on the 18th.

I agree with your reasoning. Why announce strategy to the enemy - let them guess, worry, miscalculate. No need for President Trump to send a letter to Pelosi advising her that, “It’s ON!” :D
Agree.
