i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

The House is legally entitled to exactly zero access to sealed evidence, grand jury material, or confidential investigative files during an open investigation.That's how the law works, & Trump, who loves to sound authoritative while saying nothing, is counting on you not knowing that.

In another complete reversal, Trump is backing Republicans who want to vote for the release of the Epstein files because “we have nothing to hide and it’s time to move on from this Democratic hoax.”
In other words: they’ve been scrubbed.
