Aren't they very disliked across the political spectrum?

No one, and anyone who would buy this bullshit is already 100% in it for Trump.
Not election advice, they allege that one party committed election crimes using the FBI as a voice of authority.
Caught me red handed not reading the article
in my defence I never learned how to read
It's a lost art, don't worry.
There are a lot of uninformed people out there.
Conservatives don't like the FBI because "feds".
~~Liberals~~... non-Conservatives don't like the FBI because of the whole "reopening the case against Hilary" right before the 2016 Election and dicking around with the Trump investigation.
Also, some people still have an issue with that little bit of sending death threats to MLK Jr or... gestures at J. Edgar Hoover.
Yup I'm part of the last one with MLK Jr. And their other shady shit.
The list of fucked up shit they've done is very long.
This isn’t election advice, it’s false claims that crimes are happening. Generally the police are in charge of investigating crimes.
False alarm, I just saw a totally legit-looking FBI video explaining that this was all a prank and to invest in rubles.
Really, that's weird because I just saw the same video but they said to invest in shekels.
Because prison officials are notoriously supporters of the Democratic party.
If only there was an agency that could investigate this phenomenon.
It's so infuriating that we just sit here and get slapped around by Russia and just say "pile on more sanctions" as if that is stopping anything...
Yeah yeah whataboutism me on our influence elsewhere, I'd say we deserve the reaction others give to us as well, they would have that right.
Stop them, then.
Aren't they the FBI?
Who cares. Republicans are allowed to interfere in elections without getting in trouble. America is fucked and I hope the rest of the world isolates them
In a related press release, the FBI announced that they will continue to do absolutely fucking nothing about it.
Something to look out for.
Is it possible this is a case of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, given the history of the FBI (and other U.S. intelligence agencies)?
