In operation crossfire hurricane, the FBI doctored an email and used its contents as part of an effort to get a FISA warrant to spy on a member of the incoming administration. This gave them access to listen to conversations of anyone 2 levels of connection away from the target.
They also withheld exculpatory evidence at the time of requesting the warrant, and relied on a fictional document paid for by the opposing political party.
This was used as a basis to conduct a 2 year long investigation into collusion between the campaign and the Russian government, which resulted in the conviction of Michael Cohen for tax evasion and perjury, and Paul Manafort for tax fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy all of which predated the campaign and had nothing to do with it.
Not only are these agencies spying based on fabricated evidence, they are using the spying to kick off independent investigations, each of which unveil various unrelated crimes, which they then prosecute.
You present a very one-side of view of that story that has been extremely muddied by a constant stream of conspiracy theories and misinformation from everyone including the president. Even though I agree with Trump on some things and dislike Biden the lying, conspiracy theories and general disrespect for our democracy is completely disqualifying in my book.
The conspiracy theory is that the agency conspired to do this for political reasons. Even if you discount that entirely it does not take away from the fact that this is possible and happened, and that in itself ought to be cause for concern.

The whole system is rotten to its core.
