I wouldn't assume anything at this point. The investigation of 2016 malfeasance and illegality will take time, if we expect solid legal cases against the perps. The perps knew what they were doing was wrong, so they have a myriad of cutouts, untraceable verbal orders, etc to hide the trail.

There's no doubt there was bad judgment at the top. Nobody should have allowed the spying of an opposition campaign even if they didn't know it was a setup. But indeed it looks like Mifsud and the rest was a setup. It's not going to be easy to get people charged for arranging that setup. Very difficult and time consuming.

You are quite right to caution against assuming anything at this point. Nor would I want anyone in charge of this investigation other than Attorney General Barr and Durham. Our need, however, is not for an essay on good governance from these two, as we have now twice received from Inspector General Horowitz, but rather real prosecutions such as occurred in the wake of the Nixon near impeachment.

Sufficient time has elapsed but as yet no non-procedural evidence of movement.

Take time? 2016? It’s been 3 years since these crimes and there no sense of urgency to solve them.

Look at the FISC chief judge. Does nothing for 2 years after being warned by Nunes about crimes committed in her court, issues a stern letter and then days later retires due to “heath reasons”. I have no doubt that is the attitude inside the beltway among all careerists. McCabe’s non prosecution is another one, Etc.

What are seeing now is campaign season posturing from the Barr DOJ. It’s too little, too late. I wish it was different but it is what it is.
