And yes, he was stubborn and a bit egotistical that his way was the only way. He will eventually be seen as a faulted hero, stopping Trump in 20 but allowing 24.

Sadly, if it wasn’t for Trump’s obvious connection, the case might have stayed under the radar. But yes, since the FBI has been involved since 2006, that’s a lot of lost time.

It shouldn’t be a partisan issue, true. The reason it’s gotten this much attention is because Trump adopted it to gain favor with the conspiracy theorists. Virtually ran on it. And now it’s coming back to bite him.
