Anyone acting like this isn't a big deal is being silly, because it's not a partisan problem.
How to deal with the new reality that the entities we rely on to be objective are filled with people who are often just as biased as anyone else has to be addressed. The people at the FBI aren't robots. Maybe they aren't "Brian" levels of wacky, but I'm sure there are plenty of them that are slanted more than the calmer voices on these forums.
And it makes people gullible. Gullible in jobs where it is essential to not get duped. I'm not sure what the solution is. But the sad reality is that we can't take them at their word.
