The Spin

Republican narrative

The FBI must identify individuals who acted with political bias in their investigations so public trust in federal law enforcement can be restored. The FBI has been politically weaponized during Democratic administrations and accountability measures are needed to ensure fair, impartial law enforcement.

Democratic narrative

This effort to identify and remove FBI personnel who worked on Jan. 6 cases is unlawful retaliation against career professionals who were simply doing their jobs according to established procedures and federal law. This action threatens both individual safety and institutional integrity.
