They aren’t interested in stopping right wing domestic terrorism, attempted coups that get blatantly advertised on social media, or politicians compromised by foreign powers. What is it the FBI does care about, exactly?

Yet somehow the right thinks the FBI is shielding Biden and democrats lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's because the right is made up of cynical liars misleading society's most ignorant and gullible.

They don't think that, they are just projecting.

And the democrats think “any day now Mueller will unseal that indictment!!!”

You're the first person I've heard even mention Mueller in probably 2 years lol

I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of “the FBI will save us any day,” though. It’s the same nonsense - expecting right wingers to reign in right wingers is a fool’s errand.

So the FBI is compromised by the Kremlin?

That's reductive and wrong.

Keeping their jobs, maybe. Avoiding the accusations of "deep state", no matter how justified they might be in taking action.
