The notion that the FBI conspired against Trump is a ridiculous conspiracy that Republicans have spread in order to strengthen their political position, suggests Jill Abramson of The Guardian. This dismantling of the FBI’s credibility in the eye of the public undermines its purpose and use to the country. The evidence they used, text messages between two of its agents that were critical of the president, is strongly lacking. While the FBI is far from perfect, it is needed to fully enforce America’s laws. The way it has been attacked over the Russia investigation is not warranted and seems to be politically motivated.
