Sorry if this is repetitious but I don’t have time to read all comments. My observations:
1. The names in the Stzok - Page text messages were not redacted.
2. The FBI relishes the opportunity to publicly perp walk those who it charges, prior to any determination of guilt or innocence. Now that the show is on the other foot they are all for “personal privacy”.
The alphabet soup agencies in DC have become to strong and disconnected.
The employees believe they are the elite, the noble class, the ones who shall not be touched by the commoners.
They view Trump the same way the lord in the castle viewed a rich trader back in the day. He has more money than the noble does, but he is common rabble reaching above his station.
This whole game has done little for the FBI other than make it appear foolish, partisan, and frankly seditious. If I was in the FBI, I would want all the cards on the table. But like so many organizations, they are trying to protect themselves, and the principle be damned.
