You’re telling me you believe the heads of the FBI have been registering as Republicans for 85 years and been appointed to the role by Republican presidents all as a long running scheme to lull Republicans into believing the FBI was not the secretly Democrat-controlled organization it truly is?

No I'm saying anyone can register as whatever.

At no point did I say the entire history it has happened.

Are you saying it's impossible for someone to lie about their party affiliation?

Are you saying that worse hasn't been done by an an agency? (NSA spying, Project Ultra, IRS scandal, etc.)

I believe most people at the agencies have the best intentions, which is why you commonly get leaking, but I do believe there are some people who abuse their powers.

But I am also very very skeptical given the past actions of agencies.
