When bombers or big guns behind the lines pound an area before troops advance, it's called "softening up." Right now Fox News is softening up its public with a continuous barrage of lies and hate directed at Robert Mueller, the deputy attorney general Rosenstein and to an extent, the AG Jeff Sessions. Not to mention (of course) former FBI director Comey, who is considered proof that the FBI is conspiring against the antipresident. The antipresident already fired Comey, and it looks like he will try to fire Mueller, even if indirectly by firing Rosenstein or Sessions.
It's either that or just the usual Fox fulminations of those powerless to do anything else, except perhaps try to save a few R seats in November.
Time is running out, though. NBC reported last week that Mueller's report on obstruction of justice is imminent. The longer Mueller goes, the deeper into the justice system he gets, and the harder it will be to root out everything he started.
Meanwhile, the antipresident is enjoying what he may perceive as a win on the Syria bombing, and weirdly good approval numbers, at least for his usual low range. So maybe today. Almost certainly, if it's ever going to happen, it will be soon.
