Do you feel they are politically motivated and not to be trusted?
As a whole I don’t know. Were key players for the FBI’s prosecution politically motivated and not to be trusted? Absolutely!
Scott as we both know this is one of those issues that will always be debated.

The prosecutor should avoid an appearance of impropriety in performing the prosecution function. A prosecutor should seek out, and the prosecutor’s office should provide, supervisory advice and ethical guidance when the proper course of prosecutorial conduct seems unclear. A prosecutor who disagrees with a governing ethical rule should seek its change if appropriate, and directly challenge it if necessary, but should comply with it unless relieved by court order.
It’s pretty evident that senior members of the prosecution team ignored this tenet of the ABA rules. If one actually reads entire set of rules from the source named above, it’s evident that most of the ethical requirements were ignored.
I’m addition, the elected members of the house impeachment investigation are attorneys. There is plenty in those same set of rules which apply them as well.
At the end of the day, it renders the entire debacle tainted (but tainted differently than TW’s taint). As such, it will ALWAYS be questionable by a significant portion of the populace.
Had this not been such a politically motivated fiasco, many, many more people would feel the same as you. Unfortunately, the Dems failed the country miserably.
