I watched it too.  I agree it is entirely possible that they were forced out, because they refused to conform to the group-think.  Just the way they described b being treated made me think that it is exactly what happened.  And being in the FBI, they were likely not afforded any of the usual civil service protections regarding employment.  I did have to smile when I heard the saying that they had not been contacted by any of their former colleagues - that is so like Washington attitude of "don't get any on me".  

I am deeply discouraged by the politiciaztion and weaponization of the FBI and Justice Department.  You would think the leadership with resign, but with Biden being so corrupt, I can only think that they are corrupt as well.  I'd love to see them get nailed, but I doubt they will.  I mean it isn't like this was broadcast on a network, but CSPAN and I doubt anyone much watches.  Not much media coverage either.  

That Deligate (I assume from the Distric) was plenty nasty talking about a double standard between republicans and democrats, but the truth is, I don't think it much matters which party - both sides are corrupt and are likely to do what the prevailing party wants.  The rot in these organizations apparently goes very deep.  

I'm really discouaged about our government in a way that a lot of people wouldn't understand. When you spend your working life believing you are serving your country and trying to stay within the ethics of a job, only to see that everything you believed is just trash, it tends to be heartbreaking.  I thought that the crap that went on with Bush and Iraq was bad, but that pales in comparison to the wide spread corruption we are seeing now.
