They just realized what sort of mine field Trump laid for them if they went this route.

No one talks about the pipe bombs at the committee offices anymore...

The DeepState planted the bombs.

They probably planted many bombs.

Patriots had to have stopped a planned bloodbath, I'm certain of this now.

All their over-exaggeration only seems over-exaggerated because they always write their stories ahead of time and were left holding the water with no pail.

Trump probably asked people to come to mask his own teams' movements. He needed a ton of people there for a reason, and I think it was all a smokescreen.

All this theatre trying to get him with something from Jan 6th is/was an attempt to pin their own recovered bombs and agents on Trump. But first they need evidence of their own bombs in the hands of Trump's team. The only way to get it is through subpoenas of Trump's team, which would lead to document seizures. They probably wanted to go down this route with his latest impeachment, but didn't know which curtains to look behind so they shot blindly..

None of what they are doing is the original plan, but contingencies they'd hoped could work after Jan 6th fizzled with no boom.

Whatever Trump just did behind the scenes after his team had been threatened with the subpoenas would inflict far more casualties than they would be able to sustain right now.

That's my read of the situation, and I think Pence switching his talking points the other day, saying Jan 6th wasn't a big deal, was the critical message sent out for the Cabal to cancel the frame job.
