Investigative journalists serve to expose what someone wants to be kept hidden. A covert operation is to conceal the identities of (or allow plausible denials by) the instigating parties. A covert operation becomes clandestine if it is performed in secret and meant to stay secret. The weaponization of federal agencies against Republicans began un-der the Obama/Biden administration. Their most serious crime was in how they were able to ban free speech and also get away with it! Like many other crimes against the Constitution, it was done in plain sight. Yet, no one has gone to jail. That is about to change. The Democrats have awoken the sleeping giant; the defenders of the Constitution.
