      Jeet Heer Retweeted Michael Tracey

      I'm genuinely baffled by this tweet. What is he talking about?https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1085570914949976064 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Michael TraceyVerified account @mtracey
      In past decades, the FBI has expanded its power, reach, and ability to veto democratic will by aligning with putatively "liberal" causes, which resulted in liberal politicians rushing to its defense. The consequence was a greatly expanded, quasi-autonomous surveillance state.

      You could've just asked, rather than posing a dubious rhetorical question to all your followers. See subsequent tweets in the thread.

          The notion that FBI is straight-laced and not an active arm of the establishment (deep state), at this point, is laughable. To play stupid or coy to the observable, demonstrated pattern of back slapping and favor trading is an indictment on people like Jeet.

          I should be more specific, I meant FBI leadership, not rank and file.

          Or, you could have explained it better. My favorite part is where you still don't understand the difference between a criminal investigation and a counterintelligence investigation.

          In his defense I scratched my head after reading the tweet as well. I doubt we were the only ones.

          You could have assumed he'd read the whole thread, rather than give a rhetorical answer.

          They were there. Your tweets are just incoherent. Happy to see you got the new "abolish the FBI" talking points, though.
