I mean seriously, why else would you feel the need to tell someone 3 times NOT to violate policy if you didn't expect that they were going to? Why would you expect that they wouldn't go by the book?

Again, if what followed the conversation is 'by the book', god help anyone whom the state targets. That is something that some of our left-viewing brethren dont seemingly want to look at --- just how god awful out of kilter of *what* they attempt to portray 'by the book' as in this case.

Reigniting an investigation after the first one is slated to be closed because of no proof whatsoever to justify it going forward is bad.

Pulling up a piece of true horseshit to reignite an investigation is bad.

Debating in the process to interview on that utter horseshit charge on whether the goal is to: a) get a statement to hang the horseshit charge; b) set up a 1001 trap; or c) 'get him fired' is bad.

Using a guise of a 'background talk' to do the interview is bad.

Losing the original 302 is bad.

Submitting a second 302 weeks (maybe a month or more afterwards) that alters the original to 'lying' from the original 'not our impression he was was lying' is bad.

Covering up the fact of the original 302 from the court is bad.

Deep sixing the notes on the interview which are exculpatory is bad.

Yet we have people here that seemingly stick their fingers in the ear and chant People's Temple-like and say: Nothing wrong at all with any of these issues in isolation. Nothing wrong at all in the series of issues at all.

I mean, these people, all of whom I assume were *aghast* with the government overreach detailed by Snowden, simply have done a hard 180 and are either oblivious to the government overreach here, or simply justify it in terms of 'get Trump is worth any cost.' When you stop and look at it in that filter, it is rather grotesque.

It is a stunning reversal of viewpoint of the left --- support government overreach when it backs your TDS. Kind of the same tack the left takes on #BelieveAllWomen when you think about it.
