"The Hill" is generally rated as a centrist news outlet, and I generally agree with that. I find this article well worth the read -- my standard for bias is always "what would be happening if it was the other side we were talking about?". I believe that is entirely impossible -- the Deep / Administrative State would NEVER be looking at "Russian Meddling" at all if Hillary had been elected. The certainly didn't investigate BO promising the Russians "more flexibility after the election" accidentially on camera. Hard to beat that for "evidence of collusion" ... whereas with Trump we are coming up on TWO YEARS with NO EVIDENCE of any collusion. Funny, usually you have a PROSECUTOR, special or otherwise, when you have solid evidence of a crime. Oh wait, Trump was elected -- to the Deep State, that IS a crime!
So the FBI agents who helped drive the Russia collusion narrative — as well as Rosenstein’s decision to appoint Mueller — apparently knew all along that the evidence was going to lead to “nothing” and, yet, they proceeded because they thought there was still a possibility of impeachment.
Impeachment is a political outcome. The only logical conclusion, then, that congressional investigators can make is that political bias led these agents to press an investigation forward to achieve the political outcome of impeachment, even though their professional training told them it had “no big there there.”
And that, by definition, is political bias in action.
How concerned you are by this conduct is almost certainly affected by your love or hatred for Trump. But put yourself for a second in the hot seat of an investigation by the same FBI cast of characters: You are under investigation for a crime the agents don’t think occurred, but the investigation still advances because the desired outcome is to get you fired from your job.
Is that an FBI you can live with?
The reason the left is unconcerned is because they are certain that THEY don't have to live with that FBI ... only people that have moderate to conservative views that become too prominent in the judgement of somebody with power on the left have to deal with that sort of Deep / Administrative State attack.
It isn't only the idea of prosecuting someone for something that you know to be "nothing". It is breaking down any shred of privacy for those that stray from adherence to the rule of TP ... this from NPR on the push to try to break the confidentiality of an interpreter between Trump and Putin:
CHANG: So with that in mind, could an interpreter be legally compelled to tell what was said during a conversation where he or she acted as the interpreter?
OLSEN: You know, I am not a lawyer, but I will say that compelling an interpreter to do so in general is not a good idea.
CHANG: Why don't you think it would be a good idea?
OLSEN: Because it would undermine any confidence that people would have in interpreters. Whoever the statesmen or whoever the interlocutors may be, they have to have trust that that interpreter is not going to share the information that comes from a confidential encounter whether it is at the level of heads of state or it is in a medical clinic.And of course, it isn't just "interpreters" -- for the left, the idea that anyone not a member of "The Party" (TP-D), or wholly in agreement with them, would have ANY sort of confidentiality ... for example, the breaking of "attorney client privilege" ... here we have the LA Times waxing hopeful that they have FINALLY "gotten the goods" on Trump through breaking into his attorneys office and taking what they wanted.
Tired old things like "rights" demanded that the rights apply to ALL! "But Trump" actually means that NOBODY has rights ... at least not ones that they can actually count on. Sure, TODAY, the left is total control of the Administrative / Deep State, most of the media, education, lawers / judges, the wealthy ... in general "the elite" ... so people of the left feel that using ANY method to attack Trump is fully justified BECAUSE TRUMP!
However, if you follow some of the links, the practice of using any means to attack even the sort of evil people that contributed to Scott Walker in WI is becoming more and more common as covered here.
We are now DAILY, (and sometimes multiple times a day) reminded that for the Deep / Administrative State there are NO RULES! Certainly NPR and the left in general believes that the BIG RULE is that they are in POWER, so the "no rules" will only affect TRUMP! or those who foolishly voted for him or defend him!
Without transcendent beliefs and agreed to rules (like a written Constitution), POWER becomes the only operative rule -- and that is a big truth in BOistan!
