The op-ed discusses President Trump’s appointment of Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI, which reflects a broader narrative among Republicans about the supposed "weaponization" of the DOJ under President Biden. Attorney General Pam Bondi has amplified this narrative, claiming that the DOJ has strayed from its focus on violent crime. The piece questions the validity of this narrative, suggesting that the alleged politicization may be unfounded and that new leadership decisions at the FBI may increasingly reflect partisan views instead of traditional qualifications.
