"are times when leaks are crucial to well run democracy"

That may be true. But the emails make it clear that these leaks were not designed to serve our democracy in a grand sense, but to hurt Trump.

So the alternative to having the FBI act this way, is to have an authoritarian state? There's nothing in between? Are you feeling OK?

How about the FBI investigates crimes rather than torpedoing candidates they don't like, AND the president acts within the limits of his powers. Those two things are not mutually exclusive, in fact, one has nothing to do with the other.
