We live in the Age of Mistrust. You simply cannot trust government at all at any level. Where do you take a case about the FBI obstruction to? Justice Dept? It’s nuts.
A state of lawlessness means just that. When there is no law controlling the “authorities” there is no law controlling anyone, just etiquette and that won’t last long. Folks like Issa and Holder just haven’t spent enough time thinking things through, IMHO. They had an opportunity to “do the right thing” and for whatever reason squandered it. I suspect they felt they couldn’t live with the consequences of doing the right thing. Now the will discover that they should have. In fact, the suffering will be much worse than whatever it was they were trying to avoid. Like ignoring a dental cavity, the pain you were trying to avoid becomes an abscess. Not only painful but life threatening.
