So... The FBI might have such resources? A whole department of dirty cops attempting to obstruct justice using cybercrime (their remit) being... a big target.

So... The FBI might have such resources? A whole department of dirty cops attempting to obstruct justice using cybercrime (their remit) being... a big target. Police officers take oaths to protect the public on behalf of the US federal & state governments, and to uphold the Constitution. Breaking these oaths and abusing the power they are granted for personal gain or to cover up things that occurred on duty is, to be blunt, treason. It's easy to be a bad police officer who deserves to be fired for egregious negligence or excessive force or poor performance, but premeditated attempts to protect their own from the justice system represent the worst sort of insurrection this country can realistically face. I don't see why a terrorist or a Soviet spy should receive one sentence, and an officer running a corrupt police department should receive another: They are all trying to overthrow our functioning government. Did that happen here? I don't have any idea. But when internal affairs ceases to act aggressively to investigate this sort of thing, it casts the entire department's fidelity into doubt.
