(11,437 posts)Let me just say this to avoid any misunderstandings of where I stand: I too am one of the radicals who wants to see the big fish investigated and (gasp!) convicted. If that's a bad thing, I am certainly as bad as you are. I just don't let my impatience to see desired outcomes turn into into blaming someone else for my frustration for not seeing desired outcomes.
I don't think that DOJ should have done more, nor do I think they are not doing enough. I simply have no opinion on the matter. You know why? Because I know jack shit about what they are doing or not doing. My ignorance of the matter is a piss poor foundation for drawing conclusions. All the evidence that keeps turning up in mass media only points in the general direction of possible investigations, not necessarily to who is to be in charge of the investigating, not to the presumed progress of investigating or lack thereof, not to the amount of time needed for any step of the process to take place, not to how much of the process ought tho be made public, not to the likelihood of indictments based on this evidence, not to the likelihood of successful prosecutions based on the evidence. These things are all determined by the the people who are way above my pay grade, people who know way mire than any of us do, and who are way more experienced than all of us put together.
It would be ridiculous for me to pass judgements based on my abject ignorance of what is going on.
