Not that there ever was a chance of "national dialogue," or of change in other than harsher directions; Steve M is no doubt on the money with this scenario.
In very much related topics: sending an enormous warning to anyone who would investigate the ongoing domestic coup against the rule of law. As Peter Ludlow puts it—
...one might think that what we are looking at is Cointelpro 2.0—an outsourced surveillance state—but in fact it's worse. One can't help but infer that the US Department of Justice has become just another security contractor, working alongside the HBGarys and Stratfors on behalf of corporate bidders, with no sense at all for the justness of their actions; they are working to protect corporations and private security contractors and give them license to engage in disinformation campaigns against ordinary citizens and their advocacy groups. The mere fact that the FBI's senior cybersecurity advisor has recently moved to Hunton and Williams shows just how incestuous this relationship has become. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is also using its power and force to trample on the rights of citizens like Barrett Brown who are trying to shed light on these nefarious relationships.
