A) Is the idea that everyone is corrupt so there is no possibility that the Democrats can simply pick someone else, who IS NOT under indictment?
B) Or is the idea that they are deeply scared?
That they are scared that if the criminals win the election, they will all be politically or possibly criminally punished if they pursue them and then lose?
or C) Is it really "F_ck Trump" and they are really actually slowwalking Trump, the public, and laughing behind the curtains?
These people are either extremely the most corrupted individuals (talkijng about Barr and Wray), or they are the most cowardly people on the planet
They were chosen, among millions of people. Among 333 MILLION people to serve a BRAVE role. To have INTEGRITY. To DO what is RIGHT
Not what is political, expedient, or safe for them or their careers (or that of those they lead)
They were chosen to serve the public in the capacity of delivering impartial justice
I think that the entire ball of people is a tangled mess.
Gene Haskell ... current head of the CIA was involved in the tapes.
Actively using enemies as foils. (Bolton, Mattis...)
Active, widespread "Leak tracing" counter-intelligence schemes (AKA: Flat-out 'fake' sources)
Actively misleading everyone sometimes. Trump, Barr and Esper played the press in the "The National Guard are going to DC!" ... episode.
Sessions, Huber, Durham. At the very least. All the "mutterings from the edges" we get has pretty much always been "Busy busy busy ... but mum's the word".
Note that, for all we know, the "CIA Tapes" business is why Durham was chosen for some reason. (Like he has all the files and was flat-out ordered to suppress ... and irritated. Or the 'guilty party' was still under investigation, or... who knows.)
So a lot of this comes back to unanswerables.
I happen to think any delay means "More people caught" more than "More burying", because burying simply isn't all this tough - and there's a variety of 'as yet uninvestigated' areas. Burying shit focuses first on the open finger-pointing bits.
