The FBI is gradually emerging as the ultimate referee in US politics. FBI agents were the ones to carry out Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation. FBI agents are the ones who showed up with a search warrant at the gates of Mar-a-Lago. Today, FBI agents are doing the pick-and-shovel work of digging into Donald Trump's allegedly criminal actions on January 6. They are also investigating Hunter Biden for the firearm-related charges that he was indicted for this week.
Main Idea: Former FBI special agent Johnathan Buma says Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by Kremlin-linked figures, and that FBI leaders ignored or blocked efforts to investigate it.
Key Points:
The allegations could deepen public distrust in the FBI and fuel claims that election and criminal probes are politically biased. That can make voters and households less confident in law enforcement.
No clear positive impact identified.
