DOJ is also part of the bureaucracy, not the elected. I don't have all the fancy terms for explaining it. The simple version is the bureaucracy is the "machine" of invisible people that year in year out, regardless who's elected to occupy a spot for 4-6 years, that make the government function. Such that it does. Some I knew were 2nd and 3rd generation civil service who had never been outside the Beltway (exaggeration but close enough).

Some are so stupid they don't get past twiddling the paperweight on their desks. Don't have a sense of urgency, fuck with their time around the coffee pot, lunch dates, or their time outside 0730-1630. Whatever you do, don't ask them to actually make and effort and do some work.

You can't fire them regardless incompetence and/or lack of necessity for their job. If I recall correctly, it takes 3 negative counseling sessions over a period of a year to even file such a notion. Their red flag and subsequent propaganda/smear campaign among the rest of the lifers to follow shortly after the first counseling session. You'll be a racist and a prick to people who have never even seen you within a week or two. Even if you get them fired of do away with their job, they go immediately on a have to hire priority list and pop up as someone else's problem.

THEY run that place. Next in line are the kiss asses. Military and political people who ingratiate themselves into their system. Spend most of their time on station/in office politicking for a more permanent job.

Next in line are the politicians. They only aren't last because We, the People are. They can screw with anything political they want so long as they don't upset the system. If you do, it chews you up and spits you out. Regardless your righteous indignation, they just don't care. You get swatted like a fly for the annoyance of having to put some effort into dealing with your noisy ass.

Somewhere in all that are true professionals just trying to do their jobs because they know what they are doing and are good at it. They're always kept in the background and minimized. Or, given a fancy title and office somewhere out of the way as a "necessary evil" so no one has to do the work they do.

In that, I can't really blame Biden, nor any other elected official. It's the nature of the beast. Did anyone really care about Clinton and Monica Lewisnky? One, pissed off civil service employee named Linda Tripp did for no mor reason than revenge. Bill didn't like her and tried to marginalize her by doing away with her job and giving her an equal job of lesser importance out of the limelight.

Same with Trump. He threatened the establishment. It is still chewing him up. They got all day.

Then there's this: who and what pops up when an investigation is started into a US Gov't stooge putting his name to gain of function funding? Epstein's list? And what's the fallout behind the stooge? Time to call Hillary for a "cleanup"

The nature of the beast.
