“It’s true the FBI has lost much of its legitimacy with the Republican Party”. Why not with all Americans? Maybe because most of MSM isn’t covering stories such as the under-oath testimony of two whistleblowers before the US Congress. Nothing in headlines from WPO, NYT, or This Week (ABC) from my small survey. Nothing to see here folks.

Its a great reminder about the dark side of human nature. The left was suspicious of those things because they largely were not in control of them. Even when Dems had the Presidency and both houses of Congress, it wasnt until recently that the left had taken power of the bureaucratic state as well as of media and culture. As has been pointed out by many, it was Obama who made the deals that aligned the left with pharma and defense industries, which you can see from how much funding they provide the left now. The point is, everyone is against centralized authority until they have control over it. Its why communism, socialism etc all fail - people just dont give power back to the people, regardless of their rhetoric or, in the most generous interpretation, their initial intentions. Its why I dont trust the republican party either, despite their newfound love of the 1st Amendment and suspicion of centralized authority. These new values are not core values of the party but rather values they must embrace as the party outside of power. I do think there are people within the new R party who really do have those values but in another time they would be democrats. Any person who has fidelity to principles rather than politics, will not identify themselves with a party.

It’s amazing- the American left used to be suspicious of war, of the defense industry and of the three letter agencies. Now they love them all.
