What Am I Talking About

So many people have written, I don't have time to answer everybody and still earn a living. So here is the essence of what the FBI story means and concerns us.

The FBI terribly broke the law. It was illegal to start the Trump without credible evidence.
The FBI is our most important law important law enforcement agency.
If the FBI starts breaking the law, then no one can abide by the law and be mostly confident that they will be free of persecution at the same time, unless there is a specific reason they are legally implicated in the case.
Surely many of you see how dangerous it is for the government to be able bring fake charges against law abiding citizens for political reasons.
While we pretty well know the FBI may have done this in the past, it is important to do everything we can to ensure everyone is equal under the law.
It is a protection for everybody that law enforcement agencies function purely on the basis of the evidence, and that we keep them honest when we find out they are not being honest.

One thing I'm tired of hearing is about the "hard working and dedicated FBI agents" who for some reason or other are deemed to be not connected to the political leadership at DOJ or FBI. This is a bit like holding members of the SS and members of the German armed forces blameless for the misery inflicted during WW2. Government workers who work for political bosses who govern by politics rather than by equal justice for all have a moral responsibility to blow the whistle. If they don't they are part of the problem.
