You gotta give trump one thing, he was definitely right about the political nature of the FBI.
He was just 10000% wrong about the direction, like anyone who has ever cracked a history book could have told you. The FBI will always side with the authoritarian or conservative (I know, I repeat myself).
[T]hey also ordered, in early 2022, that the FBI informant who had provided the best intelligence on Giuliani's activities be "closed" — cut off from further FBI contact. According to the statement, that order came from the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force or FITF, a headquarters-based unit established by Director Christopher Wray in 2017 and charged with combating foreign influence.
Further up the chain of command, bureau leadership — perhaps intimidated by Trump's "deep state" rhetoric and his treatment of former senior FBI personnel like James Comey and Peter Strzok — has resisted investigating the former president. A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year passed before the bureau formally opened a probe into connections between the Trump White House and the January 6 violence.
More than a year...the slow wheel of justice continues. They should have formally opened that probe on January 7th, 2021.
The statement points to Charles McGonigal, the now-indicted former head of FBI counterintelligence in New York, as one possible source of the apparent "suppressive efforts."
Only "possible" but it sounds like they have some idea.
