I also call back to the ‘leaderless cells’ model that the militias were accused of back in the time when the MSM was breathless about the threat they posed. No need for a central controlling authority.

Americans would rather stay alive and watch football, than go against the True Powers of the status quo and the powers that are. There’s the modern Land of the Brave right there.

Can we really trust that any of these guys is telling us citizens “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” about any of these matters?

I think not.

Who is recommending these Deep State operatives? How could so savvy a guy as Trump be so mistaken in his choices of key personnel?

Impeccably dressed and manicured Wray was a huge disappointment, as he professed to see nothing essentially wrong with an FBI that I see as pretty much discredited in the eyes of probably a majority of the American public.

Wray sees a little bit of dirt that just needs to be flicked off the facade, I see a building about to collapse, and a reputation pretty thoroughly destroyed.

Same thing for the supposedly incorruptible Horowitz of the “no bias that effected outcomes” mantra.

Almost 600 pages of damning evidence on every page–and who knows what even more damning and explosive evidence was left out–a top echelon at DOJ and the FBI that hated Trump and despised his supporters and those who voted for him, said so, and vowed to “stop” President Trump.

Horowitz says “well, their might have been some bias, but there was no actual proof that it effected outcomes” when that bias, that hatred, infected every aspect of how the DOJ and FBI and their top officials treated Hillary and her associates, and how those same institutions and officials treated Trump and his associates, and their respective actions; Hillary got a pass, while Trump got hammered.

Horowitz and Wray should star in a new version of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” fawning over the naked Emperor and telling him–over and over–just how magnificent his new clothes are.

It seems to me that somewhere in the Bible some government official rhetorically asked, “what is truth?”

Neither Wray nor Horowitz really wants to find it.

Here is Kurt Schlichter stating the obvious with a bit more brimstone than McCarthy lobs:

“Let’s try a hypothetical. You are on a jury. My client is a black man claiming racial discrimination by his company. I present you with texts from key leaders in the company — who are still employed in high positions at the company — discussing how they hate black people. I demonstrate that at every single opportunity, the company made choices that hurt my client, just like at every opportunity the FBI and DOJ made choices to help Hillary the Harpy. Then, I show the company fired my client with no evidence of his wrongdoing, just like the FBI exonerated Stumbles O’Drunky with tons of evidence of her wrongdoing. Do you think I presented “no evidence?”

You, as a juror, have a choice — was my client discriminated against?

I, as his lawyer, also have a choice — Ferrari or Lamborghini?

The IG report sidestepped the most critical point, the one that is resulting in the American people losing their last remaining fragments of faith in our system, the fact that there are demonstrably two sets of rules, that there are two brands of justice in America.”

I’ve written here many times about the all-spectrum Gramscian attack against Western bourgeois societies, and how successful it has been.

In that case, as in this, while there may be centers of Leftist power trying to stir up trouble for it’s enemies, there does not necessarily have to be any central leader giving orders from their underground HQ, but rather what has been termed a “conspiracy of shared values,” which can, of course, supplement centrally directed attacks.

A situation in which people who are of the same mindset, who have read the same articles, gone to the same group of schools–and been indoctrinated there, absorbed the same leftist ideology, world-view, and attitudes, who travel and socialize in the same inward looking circles, and get their news from the same selected news outlets, each work as an independent agent against the enemies of the Left within their own spheres of influence.

They need no specific marching orders, they all generally, instinctively, know what to do.

Again, you seem to be willfully misunderstanding. As is often the case with you.

No one’s talking about the rank and file. They are actually irrelevant to the decision-making process here. My first sentence in this post begins “There is no question that many of the lead investigators…”

LEAD investigators. Later I write, “But apparently many of the lead investigators in these cases (not just the now-famous Strzok and Page) felt very comfortable casually airing negative opinions about Trump…” LEAD investigators again. And later I refer to them as “big fish.”

That’s what I’m talking about here and elsewhere, and those are the decision-makers, and those are the subject matter of the IG report.

As for the rest, refer back to the links I’ve given you many times.

But, did they follow the pack?
