The DOJ controls the FBI. I haven’t seen anything that indicates FBI is so rogue is can operate on its own.

I figured one dodge that the Biden Administration can use is >>> Lawyers from the National Archive contacted the FBI for assistance in getting documents from Trump that lawfully belong to the National Archives. The Archive's lawyers and FBI lawyers go to a connected DC judge, saying we believe that Donald Trump has a few hundred documents that belong to us. This judge signs the warrant for the FBI to go into Mar A Lago.

BTW -- The FBI raiding party was composed of all Washington based FBI. Not any local FBI

[Alas Babylon!]

Yet it was reported that Trump had already turned those documents over to them months ago.

That’s a very good speculation of a mundane process which can be completely weaponized by like-minded statists in DC.

I’ve always tried to define “the deep state.”

DC Courts have to be included as key players in their lawfare.

Tells you a lot, doesn't it? And Wray is conveniently out of town.
