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.

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.
