Beyond the thirst for clicks, ratings and perpetual outrage there’s an aspect to the Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Rudolph Contreras story that deserves some attention.
♦First, the DOJ wasn’t withholding anything from congress. The DOJ told congress they (or their staff) could review any of the documents, including Strzok and Page texts, at the DOJ in their totality; as a consequence of the ongoing oversight.
However, if congress -or their staff- wanted to take possession of the documents, they would only be allowed to *remove* redacted copies.
The outrage machine shouts “cover up“, etc.
No. Not quite.
Why?
Because the IG investigative documents, in addition to being part of an internal review, are also evidence within an ongoing criminal investigation. Hence, the earlier statement by AG Jeff Sessions. The statement everyone, sucked-into and/or participating within the outrage machine, loves to ignore.
Again, before grabbing your Sean Hannity branded pitchfork, think.
With a dual track within the IG investigative findings: ¹“internal wrongdoing” and ²“potential criminal conduct”, you realize that evidence collected by the IG -that may have prosecutorial value- will be closely protected by the investigative unit, including the Sessions assigned prosecutor, and not released.
It is not hard to see the “why” when you set aside emotion and ignore the outrage machine.
Will the recent firing this Friday appease the bloodlust building since Bengahzi, temporarily? Nope we say ok 1 down..he still needs to stand trial…..next.
Many of us have spent all shock and outrage we had and simply watch, many even expect the MSLSD watchers to get a red pill bwahahahaha, they believe there are Soviet Union ghosts making magic memes to steal elections.
There has, finally, been motion. It has taken a long time, but if prosecutions DO happen, the prosecuted will have very able representation funded by the wealthiest of liberals, seeking to protect their deep state apparatus. Prosecution will have to proceed carefully.
We can wait and see if this proceeds or fizzles out.
