You are watching the swamp drain of the lesser crooks. Ask yourself what is going to happen to the big players because everyone of these guys made a deal to get to go home.....What do you think they gave up?
I do not think the 4,000 indictments(supposedly much, much more now) are all politicians and deep state. I think that many investigations were stopped under Obama and a lot of these are just backed up investigated cases that are allowed to go forward now. But I am sorry, I have never seen anything like what is going on in DC, Hollywood and the media in my life. Something major is going down and we are being prepared with the leaks that are not favorable to Dems, rinos and the deep state. That IG report has 1.2 million pages of documents.
If that does not convince you, McCain back in the hospital should. Who has brain surgery and not have hair shaved around the incision?
Jim Traficant (D-OH) served a seven-year prison term ending in 2009. But those are indeed rare.
I am a little older than you and remember it very well. This is exponentially worse than Watergate. In those days we had federal employees who resigned if they disagreed with a policy. And both parties worked together to get the truth. The Reps in Congress did not try to protect Nixon.
Haven’t found anything that can be used against Trump or Republicans, so we must look harder!
Were it not for Watergate, the present treasonous coup would not have developed.
When the offense gets under way publicly for real, there will be such tumult as to be unimaginable. We are looking at change of French Revolution proportions.

Schiff doesn’t seem to notice that his precious investigation is actually putting more libdems than pubbies in peril. If anything, he should want the investigation to end asap.
Dude has small hands, man.
The OIG is why we have copies of the Strzok text messages implicating McCabe. It is also why we have the Ohr connections. More findings will dribble out as the FBI and DOJ are put under pressure by Congress.---- I am personally amazed that Michael Horowitz is wearing a "white hat" at this point.
IMO we are going to see a major personnel shakeup in the FBI and DOJ in weeks.--- I agree.
Ty Cobb, I also expect a few indictments to be announced within weeks from the 27 ongoing leak investigations. Schiff is aware of what is coming down and is frantically trying to prolong the Russian collusion narrative that has fallen apart. The bottom line is that the sh*t is about to hit the fan.--- I am awaiting it with bricks of butter and bags of corn to be popped! ____
Thank you for your reply. You one of the brilliant ones here. (just my observation)
Andy Kaufman's Elvis Presley Impression on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, 1977
If you read the article from which the picture came, you might not sound like such a fool.

Norman ..... one great craftsman/writer and one great book of that time (1968).
