I thought Dan made a reasonable case today, but even if this case is proven most of American will either not understand what happened or even care.
In the age of Google, Facebook, and other tech giants it seems like much of the country has no problem with being monitored by others for any purpose.
Dan did make a mistake today that was important. If I heard him correctly and I listen while driving to and from work in between phone calls, he said Strozk failed to close the case.
That was not true. It was a Washington Field Office and not the 7th floor that had the open CI case against Flynn. They had determined that there was no crime and they were going to close the case. Strozk found out the case against Flynn was still open and had not yet been closed and he directed the supervisor there to NOT close the case and later texted that the “7th floor was involved.”
I think that is worse than if the 7th floor had an open case and as Dan says, “precision matters”.
I will say, I am willing to give up a cell phone if this new 6666 bill passes.
But I get your point.
That said, we have to try. If this doesn’t go anywhere, and people don’t get punished, our country is sunk. It may be sunk anyway at least for the rest of my life, however long that turns out to be if more of the coronavirus bills pass.
