Why does the FBI care about the opinions of domestic terrorists? FBI agents aren't elected to their positions. It's not like you can vote for your local district chief. They're not fucking county sheriffs.
Maybe it's because most of those that join forces are the same that burn crosses?

I think it's more because those terrorists are either supported by or are actively holding political offices that are responsible for funding the FBI. I don't think that the FBI isn't corrupt or anything but they do a better job of weeding out KKK members and don't actively recruit them like most police departments do.
I cannot speak directly to that, and likely as not we'll never know. However historically fascists often get the benefit of doubt from whichever conservatives are in power when the fascists are active. It's how fascists often rise to power.
I agree with your initial point, also I wasn't explicitly clear. Tbe FBI are the US Top Cops, and well, cops don't like to investigate other cops.
