As special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation intensifies, President Donald Trump and his GOP supporters have unleashed their fury on the FBI and Justice Department, institutions they once held sacred.
THE CLASSIFIED MEMO.Republicans claim the FBI and Justice Department used false grounds to conduct surveillance as part of the Russia investigation.
THE TEXT MESSAGES.The Justice Department has been turning over to Congress thousands of text messages involving an FBI agent who was removed from Mueller's team following the discovery of derogatory comments about Trump.
Many of the texts between the agent, Peter Strzok, and an FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, included their observations of the 2016 election and sometimes colorful opinions of Trump, Clinton and other politicians.
Some Republicans have seized on the communications as proof that the FBI is anti-Trump and Mueller's probe is tainted.
HILLARY CLINTON EMAIL.The most pronounced and long-lasting grievance took root in the summer of 2016, when then-FBI Director James Comey announced his determination that Clinton should not face criminal charges in connection with her use of a private email server.
Several developments involving senior career FBI and Justice Department officials - among them, Attorney General Loretta Lynch's impromptu airport tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, and campaign contributions from a Clinton ally that flowed to the wife of FBI Deputy Andrew McCabe - only fueled Republican suspicion that Clinton was afforded special treatment.
