I just think it's sad BJG thinks the left is in any position to leverage this "outrage" reactionaries have against the FBI, even if it was real. The best possible outcome with the current state of the American left is being used as a useful idiot by reactionaries and immediately discarded afterwards. Neither BJG or anyone like her are in a position where pitting reactionaries against each other is even possible as a strategy, let alone advisable.
It's not that I think the FBI needs to be kept around, but I think the "left" should avoid discussing how we can use worse reactionaries against the FBI when we're not at all in a position to do that, let alone pick up the pieces afterwards. As @MaoistLandlord said, all this will accomplish is alienating people who are negatively affected by reactionaries like MTG.
