I’m using the term “rogue” here for a specific reason. Trump was president at the time and was nominally the head of the FBI. Did Trump give a directive to ask the FBI to ban people for political jokes on Twitter? It seems highly unlikely. A rogue agency is an agency which is no longer following its democratically elected leadership and is instead operating independently. The FBI is now proven to do what we all suspected before - operate as a completely parallel oligarchic institution to the democratic ones that are in place.
