The GOP may tap an "increasingly partisan" FBI to keep investigating Hillary Clinton should the Democratic presidential nominee win the White House next week, Vanity Fair's Abigail Tracy writes.
"With FBI Director James Comey's decision to publicize the investigation into Clinton's email server — and the subsequent explosion of leaks and counter-leaks emanating from the agency — the infighting and partisan politics within the bureau are open for all the world to see," says Abigail, who covers Washington for the magazine.
"The implications of an increasingly partisan FBI are deeply troublesome. If Clinton becomes president, the bureau will likely become the primary tool of Republicans seeking to investigate her. The word 'impeachment' is already on the lips of several lawmakers eager to resurrect the scandal-driven Clinton mania of the late 1990s.
"And if Trump becomes president, he may find in the bureau an army of sympathetic law enforcement officers ready to assist his political agenda — or vendetta, as the case may be."
