My respect for Webster has been diminished greatly by his comments.
People still have a 1st Amendment Right in this country. He should have defended that first and foremost. But he didn’t - he attacked people for exercising their 1st Amendment rights as a threat to the rule of law. What a joke, except it is more serious than that. Did he ever think before he shot off his big old CIA-FBI mouth why the FBI and CIA were being criticized?
He seems to be in denial that his institutions have scum in them and it is they who are the real threat to liberty, lying to courts, cozying up to protect and help the “other party” and their criminals, fabricating evidence, perjuring themselves, illegally spying on American citizens under the pretext of national security, immune from legal jeopardy because they are “above the law” as agency insiders who wouldn’t waste a nanosecond to set up and take down a person they decided needed to be taken down. He should be calling for the prosecution of his agencies’ scum and what they have done to damage the agencies and the rule of law. How about speaking about the damage the congressional demokraps, the complicity of the GOPe, illegal aliens, the major media, selective prosecutions have done to the rule of law? Where were you defending Trump from false accusations planted by your agencies and now that the proof is out there, where are you Mr Casey? Kill the messenger Mr Casey, kill the Constitution. You brought it upon yourself, you failed to protect us and our institutions. Now it is our problem to deal with - get off the stage.
While I don’t approve I am not surprised instuitionalist like Webster is defendind what he perceives as an attack on his instution.
It’s truly frighting to me that nearly all of our elected representatives literally could not care less about FBI corruption. Our government has lost all checks and balances in the Age of Trump. Hatred and fear of Donald J. Trump and those who voted for him has trumped all. With normalcy bias reigning it’s hard to see how this can be changed.
