If the institutions are weak, we would have seen at least someone fired or Clapper and Brennan thrown in prison.
You're missing my point. I didn't say they were weak. They're not. I'm saying they've never been this week. It's a relative statement. You're complaining about Clapper & Brennan not going to prison. McNamara and Kissinger never went to prison. Kissinger only just lost his job! That's the power that the establishment had.
Now yes, I said they're on the brink of disaster, but again, that's the same as "weak". The collapse, for them, will come very suddenly.
Remember. If you had asked anyone in 1985 when the Soviet Union would fall, they would have said "maybe within 100 years". Nobody would have told you, "within the next 4 years".
