Trump accused of obstruction of justice
According to this, the number of people the FBI employs is about 35,000.
"The government does not commit those sorts of crimes, not on our watch. It was true before, but it was for a very good reason that society doesn't understand and isn't capable of it. None of the people who ordered it were punished or admonished in any way. Everything the government does is with congressional oversight which represents the will of the people. Crimes like that can't occur. Clinton can violate classification law." 35,000 is a lot of people. What makes you think 35,000 mindlessly obedient persons make any relevant decision?

I wasn't vouching for the competence or ethics of FBI personnel in general. I was pointing out that getting rid of only one FBI person out of 35,000 is highly unlikely to have any significant effect on the ability of the FBI to do anything it is supposed to do. The people who allege that Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey seem to be unable or unwilling to explain how firing Comey actually achieved an obstruction of justice. Jim Bell
So the journalists who relayed leaks lack competence to evaluate the credibility of claims by (apparently) senior officials that there is an investigation into a President, which must presumably resemble a typical investigation, which must lead to a prosecution, which would involve arguing before a jury (which requires its own form of competence)... Isn't politics ultimately the evaluation of claims?
