Yes. Yes. But why did the FBI do it? Because they could? Because a bunch of people spontaneously had the same idea? Because this is how they routinely do things? Or is there some other place this is going?
Playing devil's advocate: suppose they - whoever they are - believed Trump was national security risk who had to be brought down at all costs, then the end would justify the means, etc.
And even if they now think they were wrong, that they can't admit it for the good of the service.
And they didn't think it would come back at them.
