Why hasn't John Durham behaved like Wiseman? Why hasn't Durham spread indictments like scattershot to roll up the food chain at the Department of Justice and the FBI? Why hasn't the Department of Justice and the FBI jumped on the election fraud with both feet?
Because the pattern was set by President Trump whether through misplaced goodwill, a desire to appear presidential, behaving like a typical new administration trying to secure cooperation from the defeated party, or simple naïveté, the deep state concluded it could roll the president.
Not to put all the blame on the president, the media had so characterized Donald Trump by means of the Russia hoax that any attempt by him to actually perform his constitutional role as head of the Department of Justice and boss of the FBI would (and in fact did) lead to charges of obstruction of justice. Charges that would further compound Republican losses in the 2018 election in the House of Representatives and darken Trump's chances of reelection. So it is at least explainable why he stayed his hand.
Most of us were fooled by Attorney General Barr and Durham. We believed they were the real thing so we should not lightly blame the president for misjudging his men the same way we did. We were further deceived by Barr's coming clean on the Flynn case. Nevertheless, it all happened on the president's watch.
These wudda, coulda, shuddas are more than mere lamentations, they are battle scars that should school us about the kind of war being waged against us and how to counterattack.
