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.
They don’t care because the populace has been indoctrinated, doesn’t care. We very well may be living in a post-Constitutional country. The representatives and keepers of our institutions are more concerned about protecting themselves and their friends instead of ensuring that they are doing their jobs and safeguarding our freedoms. Disconnect between the leaders and the governed.
We would not have known any of this at this time in history but for Trump being a political black swan. The enmity of the power structure should be expected. When Trump said he was going to drain the swamp, what he has shown is that the swamp is really an ocean. It may be impossible to drain.
