So when is it going to happen? And let the chips fall where they may, I just want to know the truth.

The part of the IG report that included the McCabe stuff has been released. There is another report coming in May. The delays have come because the .FBI and Justice Department have drug their feet delivering requested documents.

Proving that while I respect Alan Dershowitz more than anyone, he's wrong about an independent FBI/DOJ. This post Nixonian notion that they are independent has left them unanswerable to anyone in any of our three branches of government. It is power, and power corrupts, and it's clear they have not escaped that political absolute.

They are corrupt, not just for Hillary or the Left, but corrupt in that they are now acting as if they are above the law, not responding to the Executive nor the Congress, but simply doing as they see fit. They are now judge and jury, deciding who to prosecute and which lives to ruin without ever answering to any duly elected representative of the People.

how can anyone not see the extreme danger of this arrangement? How can one not see that this mess is a direct result of that lack of answering to the People?

Why hasn't this been taken to the Supreme Court?

B/c Congress is too slow and forgiving IMO. They finally after months of threatening officials with contempt, really were going to do it and the FBI finally complied a bit, very narrowly.

They need to hold these guys in contempt immediately for months of non-compliance, years really going back through Obama. Then it would go to the DC Court and from there to SCOTUS.

Additionally, the media needs to shut their clap trap about the "independence" of the DOJ and FBI and let a President do his damned job. Trump should be able to directly order the release of these documents, as should have Obama et al, and fire anyone who they think isn't complying.

IMO it's obvious to anyone being objective just how far down the deep state goes. It's currently anti-Trump, but the bigger concern is that it is operating without any real oversight and doing whatever it wants. On average that will hurt the conservatives b/c most in government by definition will look to government for the answers, but the threat is far broader than just the political balance.
