American politics now in full Kayfabe mode?

Somebody commented in a CTH post that something here ( with respect to the OIG investigations) seems like Kayfabe.  ( I'm not clear what the commenter is referring to, so this is my interpretation)

Rather familiar thing to observe, by the way.

It does appear to be scripted with a predetermined outcome.  How do you know when it gets real?

It gets real when people go to jail, or die.  You cannot fake real stuff, and going to jail is real.  Dying is real.  Can't fake that kind of thing.

If nobody really gets hurt by all this, then it has got to be Kayfabe.  But the symbolism is what would be real.  The symbolism of no justice would demonstrate that the rule of law is only a handful of meaningless words.   The rule of law cannot be faked.  There have to be consequences for breaking the law.

The Hillary email investigation during 2016 looks like Kayfabe.  She didn't get hurt, she didn't go to jail.  She just lost the election.  However, the subsequent investigation of Trump could be Kayfabe.  Also, the OIG investigation of the investigations could be KayfabeUltimately, the final outcome of this could see a Kayfabe result.  But it is hard at this point to know what the Kayfabe actually is.  That is what could make this a perfect Kayfabe script.  You would never know if the whole thing was just a big show.

If Trump is forced out, but never goes to jail, that could be Kayfabe.

Firing Mueller would not be Kayfabe.  That is because these leftists would not accept that outcome, and there would be hell to pay.  That is why you have to do it.  You cannot Kayfabe that.

So, McCabe can now be put on trial.  Or the US Attorney can refuse to try him based upon the criminal referral.  If he is tried, it will be in DC, where a conviction is unlikely.  Unless the US Attorney is willing to take that risk, and try him to the best of his ability, the whole thing could be reduced to a Kayfabe.  He would have to at least get a hung jury.  An acquittal would be too much like a Kayfabe.

This could end up like an OJ Simpson trial, which may well have been a Kayfabe.

Just saying.
