      The influence of the president on the FBI is quite limited.

      Feel free to suspect massive faschist influences in the FBI (like in most law enforcement organizations), as that is probably true. So unless you have a personal message from Biden to the Boss of the FBI, this is not evidence at all.

        it’s an executive agency. the chief executive absolutely has influence.

      Put aside that you might sympathize with antifascist goals. From a law and order perspective, would you argue that the FBI is wrong? I don’t think so. Extremism in resisting fascism is kind of their thing.
