Because they’re above the law.
Right. Because Trump really has a vested interest in making sure the people he'd railed against continue to walk free.
If they were indictable, they'd have been indicted.
No. Trump’s a fool. He surrounded himself with establishment swamp creatures, while claiming he was draining the swamp. Putting Barr as AG, a long time Bush asshole, proves he’s dumb. Nearly all his cabinet picks were against him. Keeping Comey then appointing Wray to FBI, is further proof Don’s a dummy.
He was quite a fool. Labeling people "establishment" is lazy. Barr had no reason to let anyone off the hook.
Lol. That’s terribly naive. Barr was all about protecting the establishment.
You’re giving Trump too much credit. He’s dumber than you think.
Like I said, saying "the establishment" is lazy and meaningless. Barr was about protecting Trump and the executive. He'd have no problem going after the enemies of the executive if there were legitimate reasons to do so.
Like I said that’s funny. If you don’t think there is an establishment, you’re deluding yourself.
Trump is so dumb he knew many Obama officials committed treason, yet did nothing. His inability to understand that the establishment, oligarchy if you prefer, was out to get him for his attacks on them, proves once again what a fool he was.
Of course there's "establishment", but that doesn't mean they all get together and promise to protect each other. Bill Barr was just a hot to trot about the FBI using investigatory powers against the president elect as Trump was. In fact, going after such actions would be defending "the establishment".
Establishment is just lazy. It neglects that different people who have long histories in institutions have different motives and different biases. Yes, they're all part of government and seek to perpetuate the form of government but that doesn't mean they're all on the same "side" and interested in protecting each other.
You're being simplistic.
