Agreed but motive is one of the big three (motive, capability, and opportunity) that a criminal prosecutor shoots for.

“Intent is an element of just about every crime, meaning that the prosecution must establish that the defendant intended to commit the criminal act. (Sometimes it’s enough to prove that the defendant didn’t act intentionally, but was reckless or criminally negligent.) But motive usually isn’t a criminal element—the prosecution doesn’t have to prove the defendant had it. Instead, prosecutors try to establish motive in order to convince the jury that the defendant is guilty.” - nolo

“A motive is the cause that moves people to induce a certain action.[1] In criminal law, motive in itself is not an element of any given crime; however, the legal system typically allows motive to be proven to make plausible the accused’s reasons for committing a crime, at least when those motives may be obscure or hard to identify with. However, a motive is not required to reach a verdict.[2] Motives are also used in other aspects of a specific case, for instance, when police are initially investigating.[2]” - Wikipedia

Well instead of looking at the motive as “bias” the motive could very well be that they were told to do this by the Obama White House

Now that is the motive in all of this

don’t let this “bias” or “not bias” FBI/CIA whatever distract you from the real crimes here and the real motive is of course they were told to do this from above, and who is above the FBI director? DOJ? The White House? The trail leads, the ‘rats would wish Horowitz blamed this all on a couple loose cannons down in the FBI
