Which is more likely: that a massive conspiracy took place at the top levels of the FBI and the DOJ to "get Trump" -- and that the most damning evidence of Russian collusion, the Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian government-backed lawyer, didn't emerge until months after the election due to intricate planning? Or that bureaucrats are generally awful at their jobs? The comfortable thing about conspiracy theories is that they allow us to graft logic onto chaos -- they give us a feeling of security. In the words of the Joker in "The Dark Knight," "Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying." But what if there is no plan? What if everybody is just bad at everything? What if the adults who run the most important institutions in the country were the children who picked their noses and put the boogers under the desks in school?


I can't fathom the ignorance required to float this as a possibility given what we know the about the persons involved in this witch hunt and what those persons knew at the time they decided to engage in this witch hunt.

You have to want to be ignorant to make alternate excuses about what is happening

When I question his understanding of US common law we can talk, until then, pound sand.

They show a clear and evident bias against Trump.

This was clearly driven by politics.

If this was simple incompetence, then the Clinton investigation would have ended very differently.

Shapiro is a ridiculous fraud for suggesting this. How can people take that man seriously?

The truth is almost always somewhere in the middle.

He’s been parroting this same point for a while. If it was a concerted effort by Strzok and company to bring Trump down, why didn’t they leak any information prior to the election? It makes sense on some level.

I’ve stopped listening to Ben.

He has gotten so bad with equivalency.

Hard to tell what side he is on anymore.

It’s a clear concerted and coordinated attack by several groups.

Ben just doesn’t want to get de-platformed in the coming purge.

Incompetence suggests they just don't know how to do their jobs, giving them the benefit of the doubt that had they known how to do them they would've acted properly. BS
