It is not foiled yet - not by any means.
The Democrats clear strategy is going to be to stall the appointment of a second Special Counsel so they can run out the clock until Mueller gets something--anything--he can use.
Comey, McCabe, et al clearly realized the night Trump won that this day would surely come. Mueller was intended to be their backup beyond Trump's reach to protect them.
Not even close to being over. Republicans need to do a much better job at turnout in November than we've done in Special Elections so far, or the seditious conspiracy will be getting the last laugh.
Not entirely, but mostly. The plot was basically about electing Hillary. Had she been elected, there’d be zero risk to any of these guys, and the objective would be completed. After Trump got elected, the plot evolved, first maybe he won’t be seated, and then maybe he’ll be removed. But I think most of the post-election activity is basically to cover up for the pre-election activity. The Russian Collusion narrative confers a post-hoc basis for the wiretapping, etc., plus the Mueller team keeps a lid on all of the information. But no, Trump is not entirely out of the woods until Mueller’s probe is put to rest.
