Fight, flight or freeze are the human responses to fear and unknown stimuli... a shake up of this magnitude cannot be left to the chance of how people will react especially when the opposition controls the media narrative that people digest. It is painful slow-walking what needs to happen. But the drops that make it into the MSM and then used as attacks against Trump and his team (Logan Act, treason, etc) get the thought into the consciousness of the masses. Gets them angry, frustrated, and responding before DECLAS and a vast and higher level perpetration of illegality is revealed. It's subversion and stagecraft that must happen to give the reveal its greatest power because it is slow to change opinions and beliefs. There will be chaos, but setting the stage right can minimize the chance of failure
