That doesn't make sense. The FBI raised concerns about having to explain their actions to oversight and government watchdogs, and DOJ says 'do it anyway'. That would be a 'hard bend' in favor of the left, and underscores the complaints about the heavy handed approach being unnecessary.
The concern was 'blowback' from congressional oversight and government watchdogs - and that was a legitimate concern. The approach was unnecessary, and in stark contrast to the approach taken with Biden.
lol. This has been debunked.
Ok, was it derailment when you quoted me?
No, I think civil servants can be covered under one auspicious umbrella.
Is the taking and keeping of classified documents a potential national security threat?
When referring to the maxim of 'just do your job' , why on earth would you disagree?
The FBI is inherently political
No, that would be dumb. The state security apparatus is inherently political
It largely is now.
They were afraid of reprucussions.
A search warrant was signed off on by a Fed Judge. The FBI's role at Mar-a-Lago was to retrieve classified documents under that warrant. It became the role of the DOJ to investigate and prosecute, if warranted, based on evidence collected. That's the same as being an US soldier given an order to do something. That soldier must carry out that order or suffer the consequences. That even means a possible court-martial and discharge from the US military.
FYI, discussion about teachers wasn't brought into the hearing when questioning AG Garland about MAL documents yesterday. I'd say that AG Garland wasn't afraid to answer questions while also clarifying that he was basically being fair to both President's Biden and Trump by appointing special counsels because of the upcoming 2024 election.

One must wonder just how well protected those documents were, when it was promised that all documents had been turned over to the NARA when DJT was pressed for them - AND not all had been turned over as proven by the legal search warrant on August 8, 2022.
