The article is about a specific instance of an FBI agent destroying exculpatory evidence and a potentially innocent man sitting in prison because of this corruption. In the comments, we are examining this specific situation and, in this case, the FBI IS indeed the bad guy.
This is hardly an isolated incident either, so I don't see anything untoward about discussing a pattern of corrupt behavior coming out of the FBI that dates back decades, and calling them out on this malfeasance.
Also, you can try to backpedal all you want. In the original comment of yours that I questioned, you indeed implied that you didn't care about FBI corruption as long as the target is someone you don't like. Your words were pretty clear, so I have a hard time believing that you didn't mean exactly what you said.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoAt no point did I say "I do not care about FBI corruption". I said that regardless of my feelings about specific FBI actions, I do not see a reason based on those actions to automatically make them (or those investigated) the good or bad guys in general. If you have a hard time believing that's what I said and meant, I can't help you.
- innocentoldguy 4y agoYou gave two examples of FBI corruption and said regarding one of them, “I do like the way the FBI is used to infiltrate extreme right wing groups of the present day.” How is liking corruption against your political foes not being apathetic towards that corruption?
