A good post, well stated. Whenever someone asks why Wray or (fill in the blank) is still employed or not indicted, the answer comes down to the same thing: timing and proof. In cases like Wray, there’s no indication of criminality, but the political implications of firing another FBI director - one Trump appointed this time - would be huge. He would be accused of trying to cover up and it could cost him the election.
In other cases, the pivotal factor is proof, evidence that can stand up in court. The worst thing would be for someone like Comey to be indicted and then acquitted “forever”. Sessions started the ball rolling but impeachment and Mueller’s witch hunt threw the brakes on, and there was a sequence to be followed, including waiting for the Horowitz report which slowed things down.
Remember the Teflon Don, John Gotti, was acquitted 3 times before they finally sent him to prison, and the process took over six years. And organized crime is big, but tiny compared to the deep state.
The 200,000 sealed indictments remain like UFOs, we want to believe but have no way to know until something happens. But everything I’ve read says this is an unprecedented number.
One of the reasons I liked qmap.pub was you could see the number of sealed indictments. I wonder if that was why they chose that site to take down.
