Indeed. It’s astonishing to me that the progressives now find themselves in 2022 America in the unenviable position of defending federal agents. I won’t claim to speak for anyone but myself, but I believe liberals would much rather be the ones bad mouthing “the man,” but we find ourselves hoping/praying that some justice can be found amidst the ocean of Trump wrongdoings. I’ll be the first to say that if the events of Jan 6th go unpunished… if the leaders who literally willed it to occur get away with it the way Nixon got away with his treachery, I’ll be leading the campaign to dismantle the Justice department as well as the legislative branch of government.
I marvel at the FBI behavior in the days of the Monkees and John Lennon and all the other famous subversives. Back then there was no check and balance. Today we are lacking a different set of checks and balances. I suppose we can be mildly amused by the absurdity of the FBI in the ‘60s, but one can draw a clear line from those days to the flawed system in place today, and I don’t find that amusing at all.
