#5 They are kind of busy right now. Only 2 months to implement whatever anti-Trump schemes they have in the works, plus they need to sanitize incriminating computer files and documents.

#9 Deciding not to testify when called on by Congress sounds like voluntary resignation to me.

#12 Marokas and Wray blew off the meeting. A spox was reported at Axios as saying: "An FBI spokesperson said in a statement that the agency's leaders have "testified extensively in public settings about the current threat environment and believe the Committee would benefit most from further substantive discussions and additional information that can only be provided in a classified setting." Judging from other presentations by this pair, it would have a worthless use of time. The only value would have been to subpoena them before Congress and hang a contempt charge on them if they didn't show up.

#13 Shouldn't the public know about threats facing the US (other than the Orange Man destroying democracy)?
Or is this 'why should we just verify what the conspiracy theorists have been saying all along'?

#15 I think Grom has it, or worse trip up and get plugged for perjury. Either way, the cat gets out of the bag.

Either way, much easier and safer to flip the bird and downsplain that you already know enough because we told you so, even if it is a show the ass move.

But I think for us here, it all but confirms everything except the exact number of FBI agents involved in the Jan 6 crowd and the bus full of sappers. What they don't want is normies to catch on.

#16 I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m pretty sure I’m a normie.

#17 With respect, and with no disrespect with the term 'Normie*', no you are not. By simply lurking at Rantburg before participating, I changed. Then I had a front row seat to a national issue with The Greensburg Tornado and started calling Bullshit!

At times I miss being a Normie 20 some years ago, but then I come across someone who has a dear issue and I can participate and surprise the hell out of my company.

I present the current cultural and political climate prior to and post election as evidence that there are fewer Normies.

*And there is nothing wrong with just doing your life, getting home and doing home things, and going with the flow. BUT....Education is Freedom. "Letting it Ride" is how we get California, or New York, Chicago, so on.
