The question is whether the FBI was a bunch of knaves or a bunch of fools. I vote for knaves.

They bend over backward to assume no political bias on the part of the FBI, just like Comey bent over backwards to clear Hillary in 2016.

Meanwhile the Democrats' impeachment attempt will be based on assuming the worst possible motives for Trump.

In connection with the July 25 phone call, Schiff and company want us to believe that:

1. Trump was obsessing about the November 2020 election during the conversation with Zelensky.
2. Trump expected Biden to be the Democrat nominee.
3. Trump thought Biden would win unless he, Trump, resorted to dirty tricks.
4. Biden was innocent so Ukraine was being asked to invent damaging lies about him.
5. If these lies were broadcast before the election, people would believe them and they would have an impact on the election.

Agree. Even Fox starting to admit the Dems focused on perceived intent in their impeachment today trump guilty and in essence politically motivated by using his words , but the IG sees none of that

The Democrats operate on the assumption that no Democrat is guilty of anything, but every Republican is guilty of everything - especially, everything Democrats actually do. That is cynicism.

The opposite of cynicism is not reverse cynicism but omnidirectional skepticism.

We don’t assume that no Republican is culpable of anything, but we also don’t assume that no Democrat is culpable of anything. We are open to facts and logic.
