That’s all true as far as it goes.
But the OIG conclusion was, that despite all the evidence of bias, and all the improper decisions made in the investigation, there wasn’t evidence that bias influenced the investigation outcome.
And Wray, RR and Sessions were able to latch onto that, claim the FBI was vindicated and all they needed was mandatory “bias” training.
Trump is not in a political position to fire them all right now, so they get away with it for the time being.
And the same thing will happen on the FISA warrants and spying/infiltration of the Trump campaign. The OIG will find plenty of incriminating details, but no smoking gun that can’t be dismissed as discretionary decision in an investigation.
This OIG result proves that the Swamp cannot reform itself, and only wholesale firings and institution abolition/restructuring will do it.
I admit I am more hopeful than you.
I have long viewed this as the single most significant political scandal in the history of this country, and when all is said and done over the next 3-6 years, it will not be able to be ignored and dismissed as they are currently trying so hard to do.
IMO, too much water over the dam.
But I could be wrong, and have to keep that option open as well.
I simply cannot bring myself to believe that our Republic is over yet. I can’t. But if I accept your outlook...than I have to admit that to myself. I just can’t do it yet.
I understand I could be wrong in this, but....this type of thing has always been a personal flaw for me.
