Trump does like putin did in russia and start destroying the FBI , rename it and purge all that aren't loyalists to him, and have it set up against anyone not loyal to the lying king. That's what this is all about so trump can politicize another government agency to protect him and his policies. Then to use to criminalize others with, again like putin has done in russia, and use to screw over businesses who refuse to be shaken down, and make it legal for them to hurt their business, or steal them away , again like putin has done in russia. trump has to make the DOJ and make it the DOTJ where only the most corrupt are allowed to prosper, and especially to fill his pockets from, and protect him from being held accountable for all his corruption going on.

The rank and file is heavily Republican, it has never had a Democratic director, and historically its favorite targets are activists on the left. Law'norder, doan chew kno.

The Republicans have been screaming all sorts of stuff at the FBI, and it worked ! It's an culmination of a very long campaign to pressure the FBI to be over sensitive.

and in the mid 80s, to early 90s, the Republican Party was selling that tough guy BS and patriotic silliness. They signed on.

A bunch need to be reconsidering this.
