Jason Leopold uncovers messages from Trumpist FBI agents against the search of Mar-a-Lago and [View all]

the investigation of Trump along with sympathies of 1/6 insurrectionists. It shows what we have all known for awhile but never had the proof. Under a FOIA request Leopold has found various emails etc that show outright hostility to the investigation of Trump.

~snip~

Rumors have long swirled that FBI agents at various field offices had been sympathetic to Trump even as the bureau launched investigations into his campaign and his business dealings. The claims were always attributed to anonymous sources. An email I obtained last year after a separate FOIA lawsuit related to the Jan. 6 Capital riots backs up those assertions.

“There’s no good way to say it,” read the email to deputy director Abbate. “So I’ll just be direct: from my first-hand and second-hand information from conversations since January 6th there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol and said it was no different than the BLM protests of last summer," the person wrote a week after the riots.


Very interesting article
