Tell me you are the party of organized crime without telling me…
Look I'm no fan of Republicans but I'm not about to defend the FBI. They literally gave Philly PD two pounds of C4 to bomb residences in Philadelphia in 1985.
Let's not pretend they're some bastion of democratic values, they're still feds.
Yeah, but that's not what the Republicans are upset about. The FBI has a long and very checkered past, but they're not wrong to be investigating the Republican party at this point.
That was almost 40 years ago, it's doubtful the same people still work at the FBI. A lot of historically bad things happened at that organization under J. Edgar Hoover, but I wouldn't judge the modern FBI on that either.
