I mean also them, but not specifically them. Progressive politicians and intellectuals hate whatever obstacles their vision of a globalized society run by them on their morally radical and politically Socialist platform. For these people, Soviet Communism has been a positive experiment which “unfortunately” failed; and they more or less openly still blame the failure on the “backward culture” of these countries, because they were not able to understand and welcome the beauty of Communism.
Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, with their history and experience, know better and can’t be easily fooled. But in one generation, or less, media and cultural pressure from the west will penetrate even there, if something does not happen.

Orban is just one of the expression of this cultural resistance. This does not mean that everything Orban does is pure and just, of course, but the general perspective is that one.

A good number of people on Mueller’s team apparently WROTE the docs.

Hubris may have explained the initial failures to destroy the incriminating notes & texts etc, but why in the world did they not eliminate everything after they got control of the investigation?
I’ve always wondered why the Strzok-Page texts even still existed after Trump started pushing back. Since the IRS and others faced no back-lash on missing messages, documents, whatever — and Hillary got away with the Bleach Bit-ing of her server — why not just deep-six as much as they could when they had the chance?

1/4/17: FBI field office found “No derogatory information” on Flynn and decided to close RAZOR.

1/4/17: FBI leadership (STRZOK) went off the rails and targeted Flynn: “Don’t close RAZOR”

[…] Peter Strzok texts to the FBI Case Manager handling the Crossfire Razor (Flynn) case.

Strzok: “If you haven’t closed RAZOR, don’t do so yet”

Strzok: “7th floor involved” (FBI Leadership)

A partial answer appears in the following Sen. Chuck Grassley tweet, Snow:
“New DOJ/Flynn docs are stamped w SCO as in Special Counsels Office

Did Mueller have these docs? Why did his team sit on them? What else is Mueller team that cost taxpayers $30+ million hiding? The ppl deserve answers 2restore faith in federal law enforcement agencies”

Mueller’s team did have these docs, is my surmise. And they buried them.

By way of contrast, if there were any old fashioned patriotic whistle blowers at, say, the FBI, how to explain the ability of the FBI to keep the hand written note that was just released–detailing how top leaders at the the FBI were planning to set up Gen. Flynn–secret, and so very closely held?

What evidence do they have, and how sure are these commentators about these rank and file employees, and their attitudes?

As I have pointed out in several comments on various threads here, if any of these “rank and file employees” had any great objections to the actions of their bosses, I have yet to see any evidence of them.

No angry letters to any editors that I am aware of, no groups of protestors circling the offending offices, (yes, faint and only very occasional and passing mention that perhaps some patriotic and disgusted federal employees have been giving various Republican members of Congress and Committees some inside information), but no real “whistle blowers,” have yet appeared, and there have been no actual substantial stories, leaking out, about how disgusted, patriotic members of the rank and file have “come forward” to offer insider evidence of the unethical and illegal things their bosses have been doing, not even any anonymous posters slapped on walls in the dead of night; in essence basically nothing.

My conclusion?

In what is–to judge by things like donation patterns–an overwhelmingly Leftist/Democrat Federal bureaucracy, these “rank and file” employees have, it appears, been quite content with what their bosses have been doing, and, in fact, have likely been silently cheering them on.

Decades of propaganda against the alleged horrors of “McCarthyism” – with traitors treated as noble figures, while tens of millions were ground in Communist countries – are still bringing their fruits.

The media holds the reins of what counts as real scandal, like Hydroxychloroquine… Nobody has really the courage to oppose the shame and hate poured relentlessly on you when you dare to fight.

Whittaker Chambers, whose “Witness” is one of the most perceptive and important book ever written, had rightly understood that a decisive cultural battle had been lost in the ’50s – not only in the USA but in the whole western world.

This is why East European countries like Hungary and Poland is hated and feared so much in progressive circles: their learned lesson and consequent stance is a pain in the cultural establishment’s neck, hence, the constant attempt to frame them as Fascist.
