Tbf I don't trust the FBI any more than I trust the CIA or the NSA or the ATF, I'm on board with looking at those agencies and their activities.

That's about it though, and I don't really trust the republicans to do it either, so..

Yes, but "unlawful or contrary to the public interest" is the language the 2025 drafters have used in the past to argue that people involved in a literal violent insurrection should not be prosecuted. In this case we're not talking about forming a more equitable justice system, we're talking about celebrating the attempted overthrow of the government.

Yes, but they're speaking in code.. They need the FBI to stop investigating republicans, Those that the law protects but does not bind you see...
