I’m trying to figure out if there was any actual malfeasance here, or if it was just typical bureaucratic idiocy run amok. The DOJ and its agencies are supposed to be independent of the more political parts of the executive branch. That’s why Lynch leaning on Comey and Trump leaning on, uh, everyone were such big deals. If that independence goes both ways, with the FBI refusing to apprise the White House of ongoing investigations with national security implications, well… that would be bad. Not as bad as an active coverup, but still pretty bad. “This is why 9/11 happened” bad.
The case itself was wrapped up
in late 2015. You’d think people would have put two and two together at the time, given the timeline. (2015, minus seven year investigation, dot dot dot.) Making hay of it now seems suspicious, but hey, that’s politics.
