Due to their interference in many recent hoaxes and coverups, the FBI should have to recuse themselves. It’s possible they’re only out to find any evidence of their own malfeasance.
Lot of magical and wishful thinking going around. More fun than facing reality I suppose.
From what I have read, some of the records the FBI were looking for pertained to the FBI’s role in Russiagate, records that were just subpoenaed by Judicial Watch last week. I think it’s plausible that the FBI wants to know what records Trump has so that they can release the bare minimum number (if they don’t know what he has, they run the danger of not releasing records that are known to exist) and tailor their narrative based on just those documents. So this may be a “protect us” as much as it is a “get Trump!”
