At this juncture, I'm thinking the mid-terms were the conclusion and the 'opus' of Stage 1. IF it was a big sting operation, IF the Dems were allowed to execute their corrupt actions to try to steal the election, and IF the White Hats were surveilling them and collecting the evidence, then it really is the end of Stage 1.  Major players investigated, sealed indictments, culminating in the Dems who were perpetrating the election fraud all along, for years.  Now, with all that in place, Trump and team can go after them all. Things ready to move. Why? Because everybody who needs to be investigated and prepped for justice has been investigated and prepped. (IF you move too early, warnings let half the evil mob escape).  Recall, also, the Presidential Executive Order that the elections should be surveilled for 'foreign influence' and report released within 45 days of the elections. We'll see what happens when the report comes out, I expect (hope).
