On the GOP and the FBI

An article in the NYT notes that the belief that the FBI is dominated by left-wingers who unfairly targeted Trump is now GOP orthodoxy. Does that make sense?

It makes about as much sense as saying that our universities are controlled by right-wing intellectuals, or that our captains of industry are communists. Jobs in law enforcement are typically populated by order-loving conservatives, not flaming liberals. Why would the FBI be any different?

It isn’t. In case you forgot, the agency followed its protocol by keeping the Trump investigation secret during the waning days of the 2016 election, while making its actions regarding Clinton’s e-mails extremely public. That breach of normal procedure undoubtedly helped Trump win the election.

Oh, and Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump, not Biden.
