Not at all. Remember that FBI is also a political entity subject to the whims of congress and its willingness to appropriate funds for it. In other words, they are always walking a tightrope of expectations from opposing sides; there is always pressure.
I am not sure if you remember Comey saga, but remember how carefully some of the statements were worded to satisfy those various sides ( iirc, he wasn't supposed to say Clinton was a suspect and he didn't but instead said something that sounded close to it so press ran with it anyway -- and he could placate both sides saying he did their bidding ).
Its not schizophrenic when you understand how much of a political capital is spent there.
