    Describing cops doing their job as just justifying their budget has very similar energy to when politicians who are passing bills that provide material benefit to constituents as "buying votes".

      I was describing the FBI not the cops. Cops probably did it because the FBI told them too.

        Yeah, I didn't mean to convey that you're wrong that the cops (or fbi) perform their job to justify their budgets - that's their crumbs to funnel money to their pockets.

        The other way around is what the libs describe a potentially useful government as doing (any government actually helping is buying votes).

        I guess it's all projection
