The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s long history of abusing its power is once again prominent amid the continued expose by Special Counsel John Durham. His prosecution is demonstrating the FBI’s use of its power to deploy federal intelligence assets against political opponents of Democrats.

The FBI routinely intervenes in politics, such as when the FBI assisted the Hillary Clinton campaign in painting former President Donald Trump as a Russian intelligence asset, as Durham’s investigation is emphasizing with more evidence. By getting a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant on Carter Page, the FBI also likely spied on Trump and his inner circle via something called the two-hop rule.............

Breaking up the FBI would require the Republicans to have both houses of Congress and the Presidency. They could have all of that in 2024.

Of course, once they have that much power, the FBI belongs to them, and is very useful for pursuing political enemies, as Nixon learned.

The party in power loves the FBI. So I wouldn't hold your breath that anything will change.

Any political party that comes to love the FBI as a tool for going after their political adversaries is drunk with Power and needs to be replaced. RINOZ deserve the same fate as RATZ...both are to blame for the DeeCeeSwamp. Draining the Swamp includes significantly dis- empowering DemRATZ Political Dirty Tricks opeRATives in the FBI Deep State.
