Alex Wagner made some remarks a few days ago that deserve wider circulation ...

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. That's the difference between you and me.

I have always acknowledged that so much is unknown, that it is impossible, irresponsible and plain inaccurate to assert, with certainty ,that Garland/DOJ are “doing nothing”, guilty of inaction, derelict in their duty, dropping the ball, refusing to prosecute, or any number of other judgements that have been posted.

The little that we do know (which has been gradually increasing) points to the exact opposite conclusion.

You don't know, and your guess is as good as any one elses.

I admit that I don’t know, and I’m not making any guesses- I’m just confronting folks who not only make guesses, but assert, with certainty , that a negative judgement or outcome is inevitable, based on the absence of public information or visible public actions .

I’m saying you don’t know, and couldn’t possibly know, how this is going to turn out (and neither do Schiff, Kirschner, et al), and me pointing that out (repeatedly, as I am a tenacious member of the reality-based community) clearly annoys you. My goal isn’t to annoy, it is to point out that , outside of DOJ, specifically Smith’s team (formerly Garland’s team), no one could possibly know the status of the current investigation or the intentions or state of mind of the investigators .

And that’s the difference between us- you think you know, or the TV lawyers know, and I’m pointing out that none of us know.
