We all knew that the Obama administration was crooked as hell. Hillary was crooked as hell also. The result is that at least half the people dont trust the government agencies now. The democrats, being the crooked ones in power mostly, want to keep the status quo. A lot of mainstream republicans are equally as crooked, but want themselves to be in power instead of the democrats.

"Yes, we have patty cake Congressional hearings that go on and on, going no where."
What superb writing to describe congressmen putting on huffing and puffing blowhard shows to look like they are actually doing something.
Me dino especially loves the "patty cake" part
Me dino is an Alabamian who once thought Jeff Sessions was just great. Now I think he needs to be replaced.
The cancerous leftover Obamanations in high places need to be exposed, rooted out, prosecuted and jailed
Everyone is equal under the law.

Perhaps of what we are aware is only the tip of the iceberg? Letting it "hatch out" some more may prove even more depth and greater intensity the real corruption and waste in our government and of our politicians. If official charges were made against what is known today, and it was brought to trial now, we might never get to see how deep or where it actually goes. Look at all the new stuff that's only come out recently under the guise of the phony Trump/Russian collusion investigation, this stuff might have never come to light if prosecutions had actually started a year ago. I view it as such because I actually believe and trust that Trump will eventually not let it pass, perhaps he understands and has his own plan, he's really a pretty smart man. When new findings start to slow down that's when they will get on it. President Trump may have some of his own agenda to process before officially stomping on all the known and perhaps new found criminals. I could be wrong, but I think (and hope) I am not.

I don't know how one could conclude that America isn't finished if nobody gets the perp walk on all this. It appears to be REALLY finished. Just a corrupt bag of human scroad leading a bunch of addled fools.

Have BEEN CORRUPTED? No they are government agencies which have been corrupt since j edgar just like all other government agencies that preceded him, since that is standard.
If we got rid of government agencies we would reduce the government by 80 percent because it is the 80 percent that work to hide what the agencies do.

As an aside, I think we are being set up to fight the left instead of challenging our social order. I think that we have common ground with most Americans. I think we can all agree that the current social order does not satisfy our needs.

I don't know for sure, however, there are people I follow elsewhere who post confidently that much is happening while disinformation is being put out to the media to give them shiny objects to latch onto. I wouldn't depend on anything that is reported in the media to be absolute truth. (I never have, by the way, they lie as a matter of course) Look, for instance, at the egg on the face at CNN for the Wikileaks/Don Jr. story. Was that a deliberate leak of the wrong date on that email to identify a leaker inside our government?

What I do know, not first hand, but by using common sense, is that it takes time to build IRON-CLAD cases against people. It hasn't been a year yet. So, I am going to keep a wait and see attitude on all of this. At least for a while (a month or two?) after the holidays.

Apparent violations of the Hatch Act.

An AG with no delusions of grandeur, power madness, and no aspirations to be POTUS.
In this political climate, that's rare.
