You did not answer why those people are still in jail.All of these extreme distrust started with Trump becoming President and endlessly attacking the FBI. Not one previous President ever did anything even close to what Trump has done and continues to do.
Trump also attacked the Press. Fake news, it cannot be trusted.
Rings a bell? It does in many other countries where such mistrust thrown at the Law and law makers only ends up in an authoritarian system.
Take all that Trump has said about the FBI and one will come to the truth.

Republican outrage over the FBI’s search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home follows years of growing skepticism and distrust of the agency shaped by Trump’s own bitter attacks against probes into his 2016 campaign.
It is now culminating in a GOP, the traditional party of law and order, that at times looks like it is in a political war with the FBI.
The fire has also come from Trump himself, who is flirting with conspiracy theories about the FBI planting evidence at Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI conducted a search of Trump’s winter home on Monday, reportedly as part of an investigation related to classified documents.
It’s an unprecedented search. But the GOP outrage itself has been particularly sharp, referencing deeper distrust.
GOP firebrands who opposed defunding the police, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), want to “defund the FBI.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) said that the Justice Department “has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization.”

No, Trump and many in the GOP are NOT responsible for attempting with basically, doing away with the FBI.
