The jackals are still roaming free. Do we, will we, can we summon the courage to hold them accountable? If we do not we are asking for a repeat performance. That it is taking so long to bring indictments against those public officials (Trump, Guiliani, Brooks, Tuberville, Cruz, et al), those notorious performance characters (Stone, Jones, Guilfoyle, et al) as well as the idiot tools that did the actual deed, is very troubling.

With all due respect Seth, I am sometimes perplexed, given your knowledge, expertise, and analytical perspective, that you do not speak to how past complicity of the FBI, as evidenced by betrayal of country by Mueller, Comey, and perhaps Wray, is not also current complicity. Could this not help to explain the reluctance to investigate the top of this crime ring? Meeting the events of 1/6 with silence. To proceed with no significant communication with the public about the ongoing investigation? Quite the opposite compared the FBI response to 9/11.

Speaking of, why did Mueller stall the 9/11 investigation of the FBI? Why did Mueller retreat from investigating Trump?

Why did Comey play into the hand of Russia to steal the 2016 election? Why did he advocate for Biden to pardon Trump in the name of unity? I don’t think so.

Why is Wray virtually silent?

It seems to me, and a lot of people much smarter, that American intelligence must investigate themselves and no one is willing to step out of line to do so. They fear that the truth would ruin them, the elite, and that’s true.

For instance, the vast majority of recommendations following the 9/11 commission were sidelined. How is it possible to believe the FBI (as an institution not individual skilled people of integrity) hasn’t faltered further?

On one hand, I appreciate that you speak with optimism with respect to the prospect of justice and accountability. I feel the same about others who do. Perhaps, there must be at least an attempt at hope. On the other, I do not find it realistic. Why would I believe justice will come to fruition when a long series of events doesn’t lend to that conclusion?

Please know my comments are not a criticism of you, the human Seth, nor of your work, but a request for clarity and understanding.

Thank you.
