Title: Why it's impossible to drain the swamp

The muck flows in faster than anyone can pump it out.

Former FBI Director Mueller is the Special Counsel investigating the alleged Russia ties with the Trump team. Another foemer FBI Director is now central to the investigation. Problem: They are buddies. Is this a conflict? I think so, and apparently a number of people who know more about such things agree.

Will Mueller recuse himself now that Comey is involved? Don't bet the farm.

Someone is not a fan of Mr. Comey: https://thefederalist.com/2017/06/12/james-comey-long-history-questionable-obstruction-cases/

"Any potential FBI director deserves scrutiny, since the position has so much power and is susceptible to ruinous misjudgments and abuse. That goes double with Mr. Comey, a nominee who seems to think the job of the federal bureaucracy is to oversee elected officials, not the other way around, and who had his own hand in some of the worst prosecutorial excesses of the last decade."
