I'm not coming down on you, specifically, but I do have a comment about the FBI:All of the FBI people I have worked with, every single one of them, have been genuinely good and honest people. I don't think we should throw the entirety of the FBI out just because of a few bad apples. They have strict hiring requirements and behavior requirements once hired. I've said multiple time that 9/10 cops are good cops and the 1/10 ruin it for the rest of them. But with the FBI, it's probably closer to 1/400 being bad (or even less than that).
Even among the people that participated in this sedition and corruption attempt, I bet multiple people raised a stink about the unfairness. Some of these things may be classified. That or they insulated the evidence and the people from the case such that only the bad-apples participated. You're not read into cases unless you "need to know."
It was the higher-ups that ran the show and it wasn't just the FBI it was many of our intelligence agencies. I understand that most of the folks are just doing their jobs and not planning and ordering out crazy plans like comey etc.
