Regular readers will be familiar with my explanation of how the FBI got to be the way it manifestly has become. Of course there are larger social dynamics at work in what took place, but I have always focused on the more visible mechanisms by which the transformation was effected. The mechanism I have identified, and regularly pointed to, was the the rotation of DoJ lawyers through top positions in the FBI, a process which subordinated the FBI's investigative function to the often politicized agenda of DoJ's prosecutive role. That agenda, of course, was normally far more liberal than the traditional approach of the FBI, and during the Obama administration became overtly leftist, with a goal of implementing through lawfare Obama's stated goal of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
