They aren’t interested in stopping right wing domestic terrorism, attempted coups that get blatantly advertised on social media, or politicians compromised by foreign powers. What is it the FBI does care about, exactly?
I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of “the FBI will save us any day,” though. It’s the same nonsense - expecting right wingers to reign in right wingers is a fool’s errand.

Power
That’s reductive and wrong.
Keeping their jobs, maybe. Avoiding the accusations of “deep state”, no matter how justified they might be in taking action.

And the democrats think “any day now Mueller will unseal that indictment!!!”
You’re the first person I’ve heard even mention Mueller in probably 2 years lol
