You talk about delays? How's that going to affect the timeline of this effort? They're right at the end game with dual grand juries, and here's this NYT attack on FBI, the agency that's helped arrest over 900 rioters and seditionists alike and people are eating up this old history of the probe like it's going to break some mental logjam in the imaginary internet investigation.
Worse is this attack on Ray like he's directly implicated in this.
As far as I can see, that handful of FBI agents were trumped by Smith. Either you think Smith is getting it done, and his appointment is fine, or maybe you think Garland could have gotten it done without him. But that hoohah by a couple agents was capped by his appointment.
Deal with the rogue agents. Demand accountability, but let's just admit this has nothing to do with furthering or hurrying along the ongoing, dual grand juries, and everything to do with antipathy for Trump appointed Ray. Probably justified on many levels, but there's no evidence he's been a drag on this investigation. None.
