Tell me you are the party of organized crime without telling me…
Look I'm no fan of Republicans but I'm not about to defend the FBI. They literally gave Philly PD two pounds of C4 to bomb residences in Philadelphia in 1985.
Let's not pretend they're some bastion of democratic values, they're still feds.
Yeah, but that's not what the Republicans are upset about. The FBI has a long and very checkered past, but they're not wrong to be investigating the Republican party at this point.
That was almost 40 years ago, it's doubtful the same people still work at the FBI. A lot of historically bad things happened at that organization under J. Edgar Hoover, but I wouldn't judge the modern FBI on that either.
"Leave Our White Nationalists alone! They just want the Third Reich to rise again, no big deal!"

Fun fact: the GOP has lost something like 10 out of their last 12 special elections.
I'm sure lame threats from a criminal organization will kowtow the fucking FBI.
If this is true, this is quite literally just more evidence for a RICO case.
So, when do were get to officially classify them as a terrorist organization?
And why is FBI going along with this exactly? Aren’t they like a level above the party members?
Lots of FBI agents are right wing Republicans. They helped sabotage investigations against Trump and other corrupt right wing loons. The right wing always gets special treatment from the police.

It's mostly the folks in the middle who have (pseudo-secret) extremely partisan values which divest from those of the mission, but there are a few sprinkled in at the very top that are giving the orders.
The thin blue line needs to be crossed by the good ones- and it would only take a small percentage to break it forever. It's a cancer of justice, and is the root cause for myriad problems in the US.
I read Comey's book, and despite his attempt to look like a good guy, and self-aggrandizing he was definitely one of the bad ones.
In other words "nothing to see here, move along now. Absolutely nothing to see"

Well now that doesn't look guilty at all.
Oh yeah becaue the fbi recruits from the weakest willed, no backbone people. Idiots!
They’re consistently rated as the most right wing alphabet agency. Mueller let Trump walk and the feds have been suppressing leftism and propping up right wingers forever. I do not understand this view of them liberals have but I imagine a lot of it is based around formerly held delusions about Mueller and television.
Actually, they mainly recruit from the GOP membership. So its a fair bet they would get away with it.
