In truth, I doubt we will ever see justice on this. But I hope the truth gets told within the next two years. If you look at the depth of this with judges, career bureaucrats, politicians, media and the mega-rich, it is scary stuff. If Trump can somehow illuminate this “secret society” so that it can be brought down; Trump will be an American hero for the ages. But it is a really long shot that that will ever happen. This has been going on a long time. I think my eyes were opened when after 911, sandy bergerler (what ever his name was) got caught stilling documents out of the national archive and then destroying them. He did not even go to jail over that. We will never know what was so important to cover-up that he would risk all that.
“In truth, I doubt we will ever see justice on this.”
But it’s only because of the ascendency of Donald J. Trump to the Presidency, that we know ANYTHING about the corruption that is rife in our government today! And that is part and parcel why there is an “all hands” attack on him. The longer he stays, the worse it gets for “the government!”
And then there's that.

FBI Officials Admit They Spied On Trump Campaign: Under John Brennan, the CIA operated as an opposition research outfit for the Hillary Clinton campaign. It appears from leaked news stories in the British press that Brennan’s oafish spying on Trump began around April 2016, right after Trump’s biggest primary victories.
As it became urgently clear to Brennan that Trump was going to face off against Hillary, Brennan turned to “intelligence partners” in Europe for dirt on Trump.
But they didn’t have any, save some pretty skimpy material on “contacts” between Trump campaign officials and Russians…
We need a DOJ or a special counsel who will actually file charges, and then we need a Maximum John Sirica to encourage cooperation. As it is, Mueller and the dems are monopolizing the scorched earth tactics, and no one on our side is on offense. At this point, we're already within the stall range of the next election. Even if charges were brought tomorrow, there would be no resolution of any of them until after 2020. A Democratic president would pull the plug on anything not already in the final stages in a courtroom.
It's encouraging to see that printed somewhere besides this forum.
I agree with you that the outrage of the Sandy Burger document theft, written off at the time as just so much more Clinton, exposed the unequal justice system that the FBI was part of. And the important part the Clinton arrogance exposed was how the justice system in this country is fundamentally flawed if a single administration can tilt the table so publicly and brazenly.
Obama came into power if not the country illegally and everyone knew it. Transferring corruption from the FBI to the marshals would likely make the marshals corrupt if they're not already. So if you're not going to punish and make an example of corrupt officials from the top down, and renaming a corrupt organisation isn't likely to help what do we do?
1) Take extraordinary measures to protect whistleblowers.
2) Move the FBI out of Washington DC
