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.

That’s not what I am saying. I don’t think the USA is over by a long shot.
My point is that a Swamp cleanup is not going to come from the legal process, or from a post-Watergate reform like Inspector Generals.
It has to come from elected politicians defunding, breaking up and abolishing institutions.
The Swamp is bureaucracy. Kill their institutions and they are nothing.
In his second term, Andrew Jackson abolished the central bank of the United States. That’s the scale of change that no Swamp can sabotage.
