They have been rationalized, given a pass, and even heralded as the actions of patriots by the current one.
There has been no accountability, there have been constant and ongoing cover ups, many of the masterminds retained while going after any who would tell the truth with hammer and tongs.
I neither care nor buy any of the ISIL/ISIS bulls hit at all much less as yet another reason to play four corners on a censored and heavily redacted report that is it's self an insult to the concept of justice and the spirit of our most essential law as a less than minimal effort toward justice and truth.
The context is more than a decade of treachery, coverups, and lies with a persistent disdain accountability, justice, and our espoused values apparently to obfuscate supposedly a little longer for a war effort that we supposedly ended but plan to continue for some years.
The only people who would go to such lengths over years now to hide, minimize, rationalize, deny and even admonish any call for justice, retain principal actors, spy on Congress, offer resistance at every step including in court, and continue to find excuses to cover up while consistently going after whistle blowers are those who are either up to the same or worse or want that out in case they do in the future.
This why we "mustn't be sanctimonious", "must look forward", and cannot consider impeachment for one of the highest crimes imaginable because we "patriots" that torture, lie, and cover up too.
I'm not seeing the behavior of the good, just, and decent here just the same old Bushshit.
