Hey, DOJ, How About Growing Up and Doing Your Damn Jobs?
Derek Hunter
Washington, DC, is a high school with paychecks. The money is real, and there is a lot of it. However, the people running much of the show are still very much the same angry nerds, unlikeable geeks, aggressive jocks, and teacher suck-ups; everyone else thought people would outgrow after they graduated. Maybe there’s something in the water, I don’t know, but far too often, people near power revert to their worst instincts in a game of “pay attention to me,” either desperate to get credit for something good or avoid blame for something bad. What doesn’t get done is their jobs.
There’s an old saying in Washington, which I’ve seen attributed to everyone from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan, that goes, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” It probably is true, or at least I’d imagine it to be, but we don’t live in a world like that. I don’t know if one ever existed, but it sure doesn’t exist now.
We now live in a world where Democrats are doing all they can to inspire the murder of federal agents, and the Department of Justice and FBI are scrambling to do damage control and blame-shifting on over-promising and under-delivering on a dead pedophile.
