PMT: Wasting time
The DOJ has a lot of important tasks.
Perhaps most importantly right now, the FBI is the lead agency for counter-terrorism, working with federal prosecutors in this crucial task when we are in direct conflict with Iran, one of the biggest exporters of terror.
In addition, it is DOJ lawyers and investigators who combat human trafficking. They are also charged with taking down the most important national and international criminal organizations-- narcotics cartels, fraud rings, auto theft syndicates, etc.
In places like Minnesota, it has been the DOJ that has taken the lead in fighting the surge in crime we saw after the pandemic all across the country as state and local resources dwindled or were mis-used.
But, with all this to do and the DOJ itself strapped for talent and resources, they are prosecuting Jim Comey for the photo posted ahead, which they interpret as a threat on the president's life.
A hallmark of maturity is the ability to focus on what is truly important. That is not what we are seeing in our leadership today.
