I bet it really upsets the people at WaPo the thought of these groups being around during the Watergate story. Likely, Woodward and Bernstein and others would not have gotten away with what they did to try to take down Nixon.
I’m in South America where if one side doesn’t win, they take to the streets and riot and where you can’t always trust the law enforcement authorities not to take sides. Starting to sound familiar, sadly, isn’t it? If what happened at the FBI/CIA/Justice is what we think happened, and there was a fraud on the FISA court among many other shenanigans using federal officials and our tax money, then there need to be some very long prison sentences handed out as examples.
