I don't know what you think you've demonstrated here: I can't find a single reference to the FBI in that second article you've linked. I also don't buy the premise: the existence of any individual action by the FBI doesn't indicate a shift in their partisan tendencies. The original article goes to great pains to demonstrate this, e.g. with Hoover's begrudging support for civil rights violation prosecutions. In other words, you're overextending yourself. Nobody has claimed that the New Yorker isn't okay with institutional authority (what would that even mean?). The only claim is that they haven't demonstrated any particular inconsistency regarding the FBI.
