Your theory makes sense. Especially, in light of the fact that very, very few expected Hilary to lose.
My thought in addition to your theory is this, there is a whole lotta of Congress that is very afraid that the FBI and DOJ are going to start singing like canaries, and bring down the entire house of cards...
A change of the guards is in order for sure. I think the only way to get there is to vote out incumbent politicians asap, no dirt on the new guys should get the others to rat.
