Overall, consequences have remained very similar between the Mueller and Durham investigation, so that argument is not likely to sway anyone.

You believe in the investigation, so you feel there are consequences. They don't believe in the investigation so they don't.

I don't really care one way or another about this investigation until something big hits where a big fish gets charged. For now, it's not worth my effort or the time investment to keep close eyes on it.

I will also say that people are tired of waiting for something. I know I am too.

We're simple creatures. We see a headline. Leftist does horrible thing. For us, it's open and shut. For the lawyer who has to prove it, knowing he's going up against 1) the best lawyers money can buy, 2) a corrupt judge, and 3) a corrupt media which are going to give him negative coverage... this is a very different case.

It doesn't have to just be obvious. It has to be so airtight and procedurally perfect that their defense lawyers can't get them off on technicalities, can't use 'executive privilege' or some other shield, can't find any openings to appeal, can't get evidence thrown out as inadmissible because it's classified or improperly obtained, etc, etc.

Most of us aren't lawyers, so we don't get it. They got to law school to get it. It's no different than the morons shooting off their mouths about doctors here. We didn't spend 8 years of our life after college learning the trade, so we don't understand it. We think things are simple when they're not. We don't commonly have people who are trained come and explain it, and when they do come and explain it, sometimes, we get so pissed off or dismissive because they're not saying what we want to hear that we ignore it.

This is why we struggle with this. We're up against an enormously high standard here. We have to do it right in order to save the system. Otherwise, all we do is prove the system was failed in the first place and the Left still wins the ideological war.
