Part 4/8:
The fear among those opposed to Trump's approach to the FBI is palpable. Commentators have mentioned the potential for politicization within the Bureau under Patel’s leadership. They emphasize that it is inappropriate for an FBI Director to view the agency as a tool for political maneuvers, which they assert is a perspective that McCabe embodies. The testimony highlights a troubling irony where the former FBI officials, tasked with impartial investigations, voiced outright concerns about Trump using the bureau to harm opponents, reflecting a deep-seated fear of how power can be wielded unjustly.
