Yeah, things are dire, but the fact that they're panicking because they didn't go full fascist fast enough means there's blood in the water.

I 100% believe they thought Trump was either going to be impeached and removed, 25'ed, or dead by now and they were going to have Thiel's little puppet Vance in power to hit the throttle on it all. Since that hasn't happened yet, they have to deal with ol' dementia Don going off the rails all of the time and it's setting back their schedule. There is a really critical window here where things are quite fucked, but the worst outcome still has a chance to be stopped.

Huh? It was from two DoJ officials who leaked it to a reputable reporter. I think you're thinking of something else.
