Can we please not bring irrelevant modern "politics" into this? I explicitly set up my comment to avoid this non-issue. I am very much against the person you brought up for no reason. I am also very against the FBI because of what they did during Occupy and against other grassroots movements over the years. Things I have direct personal experience with the FBI being corrupt over.

You don't seem to grasp what "relevant" means, or what "non-issue" means. Trump's situation is, obviously, directly relevant, and it's most certainly an issue.

It isn't irrelevant. There are active efforts by right-wing politicians and talking heads to discredit the FBI. I think legitimate discourse is good and am happy to have it, but cherry picking things to simply push an agenda doesn't help.

Honestly? I'll take it in a "broken clock is right twice a day" sort of way. I'm glad there's support for reforming the FBI from idiots as well as reasonable people now. The only downsides are the people that automatically take the opposite position of the idiots even when what the idiots are arguing for is correct (by accident).
