It is somewhat like all those hard disk crashes in such a short time of the computers assigned to Lois Lerner and her co-workers at the IRS. The departed/demoted/reassigned are most of those who whitewashed Crooked Hillary’s illegal email server usage, and then went on to either illegally surveil the Trump campaign and transition and/or were involved with the Mueller “investigation”. <br /><br />There are, as far as I can tell, two major exceptions to a fairly clean sweep. One is DAG Rod Rosenstein. He was in the dirt a bit over the last decade or two, and hasn’t reined in Mueller. But he did fire Comey, and, I suspect is active in pushing out the miscreants at the DoJ that we are talking about. The other is the FBI's Director of Counter-Intelligence, Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok’s former boss, and the ne guy at the FBI who was essentially had to sign off on everything, ranging from the Clinton email interviews, the FISA Title I warrant, the Title VII searching, etc. And, yet, he is invisible. Either, he is made of Teflon, or has flipped, working for the IG. <br /><br />Funny thing is that if you get your news from CNN, you very likely don’t know what is going on here, why the resignations, why the reassignments, etc. While a lot of Democrats are even coming to a realization that the Obama Administration corrupted, and weaponized the DoJ and FBI, I doubt that is the case for most CNN viewers, with the network in full coverup mode Bruce Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815293023158025662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-43881745945508509052018-02-11T09:18:41.374-06:002018-02-11T09:18:41.374-06:00"But Democrat is a much broader category than..."But Democrat is a much broader category than is Leftist."<br /><br />I haven't seen much evidence of it lately.

Clinton's wife lost an election by a wide enough margin, even ballot stuffing wouldn't/couldn't help, plausible deniability must be invented<br /> 2. (this explains all the help from the GOP e) This is a warning shot to any other non-politician from attempting to enter DC. All the smears were leveled during the campaign as examples of the treatment that outsiders will endure.

First, the construct that you can easily define individuals by the twenty year span in which they were born is utterly preposterous. By this light, a person born in 1944 would have less in common with a person born in 1946, than a person born in 1946 would have with a person born in 1964. Ridiculous. Second, eligibility of oneself or one's classmates for draft service in Vietnam was a very sharp breaking point in terms of life experience. Being an 18-year old in 1969 was very different from the same experience in 1973.
