1. Michael Fineberg is great

He speaks at the tail end of the video and gets to the heart of the matter. Blanche was bragging about purging 200 federal prosecutors and FBI agents who had been assigned to investigations of Donald Trump, ruining their careers. The plain fact of the matter is these agents do not get to choose which cases they work on; they were simply following the chain of command which Cash Patel has stated is essential for an agency to function.

The fact that those investigations were warranted by the facts and the law is another matter, very important in disproving the assertion those agencies were weaponized under Biden.

It is, of course, the Trump administration that is weaponizing the Justice Dept, the FBI, and intelligence agencies for personal and politically motivated retribution.
