    This story is interesting as criticism of GOP, not support for FBI.

    Have whatever opinion of FBI you want: when the people who have made the Thin Blue Line a core piece of their personality suddenly find some police that they’d like to do away with a whole band of high-profile police, then it reveals that the thin blue line shit was just code for something else.

      Then let’s take advantage of the fact that in this narrow case republicans are accidentally right and defund the FBI.

      I am getting really tired of Centrists/Democrats taking Republican positions to point out that Republicans are hypocritical, because it ends up with Centrists and Democrats taking and parroting Republican positions.
