18. Steele would NOT be able to finish it in one month. Fantasy.

Not if you want people to go to prison and the majority of the American public to be convinced of the magnitude of the cases.

This is a complex affair and there is an awful lot of detail. The businessmen (almost exclusively men, except perhaps Ivanka and Rebekka Mercer) have years of experience hiding stuff via shell companies, numbered companies, couriers, go-betweens, etc.

This is bigger than Watergate and that took two years. Watergate did not have international players. Watergate did not have digital media as a powerful force (social media) and enabling technology (email, electronic bank transfers). Watergate was limited to about two dozen people. This has national election committees involved, international couriers, shadowy hackers, Wikileaks, and on and on.

It's a dangerous fantasy to want this wrapped up in one month.
