Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., demand accountability as evidence behind the FBI ‘Arctic Frost’ operation starts to surface.  Slowly at first, then suddenly….

Johnson and Schmitt are not bad actors, nor are they operating in bad faith.  Both Senators are honest, patriotic and sincere.  Both are also inside the system.  Both Johnson and Schmitt are bound by the ‘schoolhouse rock’ customs and norms that frame their perspective of our constitutional republic.

We do not like being disagreeable, but we no longer can accept a demand that we adhere to rules that only apply to the behavior of the victim, not the abusers.   The ‘strongly worded letter‘ approach is useless.
