Not any more it isn't. It probably cannot recover that level of respect and trust in my lifetime, if ever.

I have to many family in Law Enforcement.
Let’s just say the respect was not super high to begin with. Never should have been. They are people, and people do things for all sorts of reasons.

What we know right now, even if we do not find out anything else in the coming weeks, is going to precipitate televised testimony in front of Congressional Comittees all Summer. Remember Watergate? How the entire nation was glued to the tube for months? Hanging on every word? Horrified to hear of the plotting and scheming of a half dozen folks at the highest levels of government over a 15 minute burglary? Because we both know it is going to happen. The integrity of the FNI is the least of it. And it is going to blow back entirely on the Rats. What a time to be alive!
