Journalism and The Justice Department - Both Dead?

What American politics is showing us very blatantly these days is that we no longer have an honest and effective Justice Department. It began with (or even before) President Obama and has only gotten worse. From the obvious corruption of the Clintons throughout her campaign, and even before, mostly ignored and whitwashed by disgraced FBI Director Comey, to the blatant corruption and lies of James Clapper and John Brennan while under oath, to the complete waste of time and money by the appointments of AG Bill Barr and his appointment of John Durham as a special prosecutor, to Christopher Wray's appointment as useless FBI Director, the performance at the top level of the Justice Department has become a joke. The list is long. The crimes are obvious, even to some left-wing media outlets, yet they are ignored and left alone.

Honestly, one of the major problems I had and still have with the Trump administration and his Justice Department was their lack of action on the above named topics, along with several of his seemingly usless appointments. None of the people in charge did anything - at least that's how it seems. One of Trump's biggest promises was to proseute Hillary. It didn't happen. Then the scandals, allegations, and even obvious crimes simply went away with time, as will any illegalities committed by the Biden family.

The latest examples are the Biden money scandals and Biden's obvious mental health defficiencies. In the early 70s reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein would have been all over Hunter Biden's alleged dealings with Ukraine, Russia, underage girls, illegal drugs, and alleged payment of cash to his father. They would have questioned Biden's seeming lack of mental awareness and made it front page news. With the exceptions of Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, and a handful of others, these stories will now just go away. And even those outlets won't stay on them long if the Justice Department simply let's them disappear.

Real journalism in this country is rare these days. There are a few left but their investigative reports rarely make it to a majority of Americans and are frequently squashed by the left. And now attempts are made to 'cancel' honest journalists. It's all about control of the masses. And as long as the stories don't affect our daily lives most Americans are content to ignore them. We are becoming victims of our own indifference.
