When administering chemotherapy, the trick is to administer a dose which kills a sufficient quantity of the cancer cells to make the mass non-critical while doing insufficient damage to the host so that it can recover.

I think this is a decent metaphor. For the past few years, we have been strengthening the populace to understand just how bad things are so that a large dose of declassification can occur without destroying the republic. If on Feb 1 2017, DJT had declassified all of the FISA shenanigans, the natural assumption would have been that it was a crazy made up something.

I wish we could move on more quickly. God, I wish we could. But the last thing we want is to lose the patient.
