20-25 years ago the media wold have been all over a story like this, but today they are complicit with the corrupt DOJ and other deep state criminals. It is a sad state of affairs when the “free press” which is supposed to protect our Republic is now n lock step with those that want to bring about its destruction.
Funny you say that considering the press is under attack from the POTUS himself, when you have a leader playing a partisan role you can be sure what happens next only benefits a select few...

Just a day or two ago, the DOJ flew a 757 to Little Rock to gather documents from the Clinton Foundation.
Now Trump comes out and says it needs an overhaul.
Interesting.

That's a great point! The U.S. news media (90%) is now owned by only 6 mega-corporations. In 1983, the U.S. media was owned by 50 corporations.
This fact is very obvious when you enter a news item into Google search, and see, LITERALLY, pages of the same exact headline from many colluding outlets.

The second largest unit of Federal law enforcement agency employees in the United States of America is known as the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ), which includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). (The largest is the Department of Homeland Security.)
In a candidly blunt assessment today, President Trump announced that key areas of the Department of Justice (DOJ) are not functioning, as they were designed to function. That they are in need of a major overhaul.
See Today's Tweets at: theconservativetreehouse.com...-152780
In an interesting set of tweets today President Trump highlights the institutions of the DOJ and FBI with separate and blunt emphasis.
President Trump highlights the lack of DOJ leadership (specifically AG Jeff Sessions) to address the institutional corruption which led to “spygate” and a fraudulent application for an unlawful FISA application.
In the second set of tweets, President Trump noted how officials within the FBI are continuing to obstruct oversight and refuse to turn over evidence of institutional corruption. In a pointed question President Trump asks: “What are they hiding”?
Three examples from just this year:
•After the IG report on the Clinton investigation, Director Wray took no action to address the issues of the deeply political FBI; and no-one within the organization has been held accountable. With the single exception of McCabe, all former corrupt officials have been permitted to exit with full benefits and pensions intact.
•Additionally, there is no effort on behalf of the DOJ to follow-up on the IG criminal referral to charge former Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe for lying to the FBI, leaking information to the media and using his office/position to influence an official investigation.
•Worse yet, there is an ongoing and highly visible DOJ leadership effort to cover-up the gross criminal behavior of the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee Security staff, James Wolfe. Despite overwhelming evidence that James Wolfe leaked top secret and highly classified intelligence to the media, the DOJ has only charged Wolfe with one much lesser crime of lying to the FBI.
SUMMARY:
FULL ARTICLE HERE: theconservativetreehouse.com...-152780
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is willfully blind. FBI Director Christopher Wray is also demonstrably corrupt, and willfully blind. Both are working against the interests of justice in their efforts to protect Washington DC from sunlight. Both are allowing officials within their organizations to continue conspiring to protect their former colleagues.
If you add the DOJ's 2017 action of assigning a Special Counsel (Robert Mueller) to investigate President Trump for "colluding/conspiring" with Russia to win the Presidency in 2016, when there was no evidence of that, you not only a broken DOJ, but a criminally corrupt Department of Justice, as well.
The author of the above Conservative Treehouse article feels that President Trump will not begin this major overhaul of his Department of Justice until after the November mid-term elections. What do ATS members who are following this believe? That the President will wait until after the mid-terms, to begin cleaning house at the DOJ?

OK. You like WIMPY Presidents that don't fight back. In 2020, you can work to get one of them elected.

There is plenty of evidence that Russia interfered in the political process, there has been tons of smoke we just haven't nailed down the source yet.
If Trump isn't the source then the investigation will find who the source is, that's the point of the investigation, to find where the smoke is coming from, not pin it all on Trump without evidence.
Do you disagree that there has been smoke? Do you not want those who interfered with the elections to be punished and/or publicly outed? If it's not Trump then it's someone else, there is smoke that heavily implies a fire somewhere. You're in denial if you don't think so.
Social media trolls is not interference.
Fact is they rigged an election, but that doesnt seem to bother you.

Like the RNC computers are filled with virtue files. LOL Way to blame the victim! Nice deflection! Do you think Trump would have won without the help of those stolen DNC files and WIKILEAKS? I don't.

Evidence that Russia interfered with the election? I guess you've been ignoring the news around it. I thought it was common knowledge that Russia made an effort to interfere in the elections.
