"When I first got into the FBI one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try to keep" progressives out of government
I've known that the FBI targets far-left activists with programs like COINTELPRO for a while now, which is inexcusable in and of itself, but I was somewhat surprised to learn that the FBI would even go so far as to try to keep more liberal progressives from getting elected. Unfortunately in today's hyper-partisan political climate I doubt this revelation will make any waves, a lot of people, especially Trump supporters, seem OK with political repression as long as it's happening to the other side.
