It was disappointing, because everyone expected some sort of dictatorial action for some reason, even though if the Dems were doing it, it would be rejected and hated by the right. If a Republican AG did it, you can be sure he would have been crucified immediately. Not possible at all with the FBI and DOJ so full of crooks and the media setting the narrative. In hindsight I'm sure it was a trap and he didn't take the bait. IMO it was very wise to get clear of Russiagate and do other things while the rot was exposed by others. Otherwise he would have been a target for collusion too and could have done nothing. He couldn't, for instance, start firing a bunch of people or it would have been used as proof that Russiagate was real and he was acting in Russia's interest to prop up the usurper Trump--would be typical leftist projection. Instead he set up anti-trafficking operations that were able to survive because they were obscured by the Russiagate narrative in the media. If, as is usually accepted around here, trafficking is a major part of the DS control system, quietly attacking the roots of trafficking is a very important part of an overthrow strategy.
Agree to disagree, I suppose. I believe it would have been "easier" to simply do what Trump wanted him to do.
As previously mentioned, he was too idealistic for his the modern climate, but I don't think his action was due to cowardice, as you do.
