For months, the typical MSNBC/liberal-blog consumer was encouraged to believe that, any second, Trump was going to be dragged out of WH in handcuffs and "die in jail." Few believe that now. So other than the value of knowing - which is real! - what's the expected outcome here?https://twitter.com/BrendanNyhan/status/945858970119421952 …

I haven't seen polling data, so I grant it's anecdotal and observational, but it definitely seems to me like there is less of an expectation of Trump's arrest and prosecution, and even impeachment, from all this as compared to, say, 6 or 9 months ago.
I'd say it's salutary that Preet, among others, noted the limits of Flynn's plea (tho many have missed that). But I think real evidence (as opposed to dossier claims) is accumulating.

Preet noted the POSSIBLE limits of the Flynn plea, while acknowledging that not all offices follow the SDNY prosecutorial model.
