One of the biggest takeaways from the recent election,, a real eye-opener for me, is that the CIA, FBI - all the 3-letter agencies of the DOJ - are not (and have never been) the "good guys", the white hats supposedly battling enemies foreign and domestic. Rather, they ARE the enemies, foreign and domestic. They have actively enabled foreign bad actors eg China to wrest control of the levers of power. They ARE the "black hats" and probably have been so since their inception. I can't think of a single good thing they've done for this country. Mexican cartels are more honorable in my mind. When someone like Trump is able to beat a rigged system, confound the monolithic forces of power, and win the office of the President - to upset the applecart and actually accomplish significant positive change - he has become enemy #1 for these evil agencies.

Trump's first few years were eye opening, but the last year, just wow. Wray still covering shit up. Even with Comey, McCabe, Strzok, et al gone, nothing has changed. Sullivan not dropping illegal charges. Every time something goes before the court I have to look and see who appointed the judge to see if it will get a fair shake. The Chief Justice appears compromised. Haspell. Trump needs 4 more years to get these agencies cleaned out. I think he finally realizes that it was way deeper than he even thought(sure was for me.)
