Summary:
The raid on former President Trump’s residence, Mar-a-Lago, was unprecedented. But while some see it as the culmination of politicization of the F.B.I. since Trump became president, Dr. Frank Sorrentino says the F.B.I. and other federal bureaucracies have always been political institutions.
