While attending a MAGA rally in Nevada, President Trump paused for questions from the media. Topics included: the Migrant Caravan at Border; a decision to terminate an agreement with Russia; discussions with Saudi King Salman today. Additionally, President Trump addressed media on Saudi explanation of missing journalist fate, military at border, also hopes Joe Biden win Democrat nomination.
Against a rather enlightening week of activity from within the DOJ and FBI, last night I posited the question:
“If the FBI and DOJ were not institutionally corrupt wouldn’t we have seen multiple whistle-blowers this year?”
The purpose of the question is to draw attention to an empirical reality. By now we understand many of the big picture details behind DOJ and FBI efforts to weaponize the institutions of government to target their political opposition, namely Donald Trump.
With the removal of so many officials within the institutions, the question becomes less rhetorical. If the corruption is removed, where are the ‘rank and file’ whistle-blowers surfacing from underneath the now replaced leadership? Why haven’t we seen anyone from within the system come forth to tell their story?
Where are the voices of the officials within the FBI data forensic units who were given restrictive analytical instructions on Clinton laptops and hard-drives? Where are the voices of the investigative field agents charged with finding leakers? Where are the voices of the non-corrupt employees inside the DOJ-NSD or FBI who watched for two years as the small group within upper level offices controlled/scripted the activity? etc. etc.
The larger question is not asked to state emphatically no such honorable “rank and file” exist; but rather to highlight: if they do exist, then why are they invisible?

The GOP present an ad highlight the left’s violent attacks against their political opposition. Recent history has evidenced Democrat willingness to weaponize people, media and institutions against anyone who opposes their views. Imagine what these Marxists would do with more power in government:
