I think putting white hats on the bureaucratic state is wildly dangerous. And naive.
These people aren’t all collateral damage. Some, like Comey, are. Some, like Szrock, are not.
The law ultimately is power and money to a great extent. If you shoot at the bear, you’d better kill him.
The bureaucratic state is quite fine. Its tentacles are everywhere, and its power eclipses Trump’s. It’s just having a bit of a fit at the moment because it’s not used to being in its current situation. That leads to these melodramatic laments.
