    That could be how you would mean it, but that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it.

          “You guys literally just claim things without any evidence”

          How ironic…

          You, just a few comments ago:

          “that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it”

          If you’re so sure of their intent then where is your evidence?

          You’re doing the exact same thing you accused the other commenter of; you literally just claimed something without any evidence.

            Yes because I know what they mean because I have heard them explain the problem. You guys on the other hand dont know what they believe because you dont know anything about them.

      If something is against “national interest” and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE’S head as an obvious grab for power.

      I’m not american, so I don’t have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don’t self identify as fascist should be against this.

      If you don’t interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.

        So the issue is that this is not what they are referring to. What they are talking about is when the FBI (and CIA) get involved in politics or directly sway things in direction that is outside of what the FBI is for.
