First, though, consider the strange new move at the Justice Department. Ignoring explicit features of the special counsel law, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed to the post the same man, U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who already has fumbled (or perhaps tried to bury) the investigation for more than five years. Plenty of smart analysts in the past 24 hours have leveled complaints about the move; I particularly commend the one by former top federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy, who called the selection a “joke” and believes the real goal is for Weiss to “continue killing the ‘ongoing investigation’ he is running…”
The whole thing smells like week-old fish.
Then again, the Justice Department, FBI, and other federal security agencies have exuded the stench of rotten fish for years. Beginning in Bill Clinton’s presidency, left-wing ideologues who originally were political appointees began “burrowing in” to the mid-level career ranks at the Justice Department, where during Republican administrations they deliberately gum up the works and where during Democratic administrations they act with partisan vengeance.
