They were never lost! I bet they are very damning.
Perhaps I should use the other acronym for the Bureau ; Friendly But Incompetent, instead of Friendly But Ignorant.
So, the person who said they were "lost", that person and those who told him/her should also be included in those indicted for obstruction, lying to Congress, sedition, and conspiracy.
While the administrators and line level Bureau agents are held to a certain standard, those members of the I.G.'s Office that I have met in the various Fed agencies have been hard line, black & white kind of guys whose personal standards are what all of them should have.
Take the V.A. for example...the Phoenix VA was under investigation for over five years before the story broke about the wait times and Vets dying before they could be treated. Those guys that I personally know in the VA OIG had been collecting interviews, documents, and other evidence and turning in reports to their superiors for that entire five years. Two of the guys I know testified in front of Congress about why nothing had been done and they had reams of evidence that they could show that
they had done their job, but the bureaucrats in DC had sheitcanned the reports.
The problem is, and particularly was, that once it hit the upper, political levels, nothing was done. If it
did make it to the AG's Office, it was buried there.
Folks here are cussing Sessions, but it seems to me that the Fat Lady hasn't even entered the building,much less warmed up.
This crap took years to put into place because the Leftists (Marxists, Socialists, Communists, or whatever label applies) all think in the Long Game, not in months, but years and sometimes decades. They are willing to chip away and bury their agents until the proper time.
I sincerely believe that Obama's election was the point they could go balls to the wall and take over, because they held all of the cards.
In their hubris, they forgot about us... They still discount us...
