For most of the FBI’s history, it was run by J Edgar Hoover, who used it to spy on and blackmail innocent Americans and as a political weapon.
It’s still the same organization, from spying to entrapment to outright murder to authoritarian political influence (and don’t be mistaken - it’s not on any particular party’s side, it’s on the FBI’s side.) The real question is my mind is how some people came to be convinced it was respectable organization - maybe through its portrayal in pop culture shows? Just institutional power?
