This is why we need unbiased and nonpoliticized Inspectors General.
I get that you want to dunk on the person from the other side doing the same thing but that's exactly the issue...if everyone is always leaking that X or Y investigation was suppressed, we won't know what was actually suppressed vs what was abandoned because it wasn't worth investigating.
We need structures in place to report to those in charge of Congressional oversight with enough unbiased information that it can be determined whether there was wrongdoing. Everything else is just playing politics.
But like… I don’t want to dunk on people simply because they don’t agree with my politics (with the pointed exception of fascists).
I do want public officials - regardless of their political orientation - who fuck around and do immoral, unethical, illegal, corrupt, and/or fascistic shit to find out how the inside of the often unforgiving American justice system looks, because they heartily deserve it.
