Yeah, supposedly what unites the Trump voters is their authoritarianism: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533
A possible motive, but then I still suspect the reason lies within the right wing mindset of people working for organisations like the FBI. After all, this is a common theme within western countries - secretly collected data via their domestic intelligence services on leftist/liberal politicians etc. Happened in Italy, Germany, France, Austria and so on.
What happens to the GOP
Right, but there's right-wing and then there's right-wing, isn't there? Lots of lifelong Republican voters (and even politicians), who can hardly be called anything but right-wing, are horrified by the idea of Trump being in charge. Colin Powell and John McCain have said they'll vote for Clinton, amongst others.
And Hillary Clinton is not exactly a radical liberal socialist herself, is she?
Edit: I see I've got that wrong about McCain, he's said he can't support either candidate. But a senior Republican refusing to endorse his own party's candidate is surely significant in itself.

These questions pertain to child-rearing: whether it is more important for the voter to have a child who is respectful or independent; obedient or self-reliant; well-behaved or considerate; and well-mannered or curious. Respondents who pick the first option in each of these questions are strongly authoritarian.
Yeah, put like that it's probably the least bad option in order to deflate Trump's "rigged election" claims.
If there is no proof of actual fraud, they'll claim it's bc the perpetrators (New World Order council, The Freemasons, The UN, Lizzard People etc) covered it all up so well.
Can someone explain to me why the FBI would want to have Trump in charge?
This controversy has its roots in the director’s July decision to hold a news conference announcing his recommendation that the Justice Department bring no charges against Hillary Clinton. Instead of making a private recommendation to the attorney general — consistent with Justice Department policy — he chose to publicly share his professional recommendation, as well as his personal opinions, about the case. That was a stunning breach of protocol. It may set a dangerous precedent for future investigations. It was wrong.
That seems more reasonable. When Comey first made unnecessarily public statements about this case, they favoured Clinton, so I don't think it's a given that even he favours Trump:
-- Eric Holder, WaPo
It's also pretty much word-for-word what a lot of diehard Sanders fans (Sanderistas?) were saying when Clinton won the nomination, because it was just unthinkable to them that she had beaten their man simply by being significantly more popular with Democrat voters.
Who says they do?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/03/fbi-leaks-hillary-clinton-james-comey-donald-trumpDeep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election....
The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”
The agent called the bureau “Trumplandia”, with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected....
The Daily Beast reported on Thursday on ties between Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, and the FBI’s New York field office, which reportedly pressed the FBI to revisit the Clinton server investigation after beginning an inquiry into Weiner’s alleged sexual texting with a minor. The website reported that a former New York field office chief, highly critical of the non-indictment, runs a military charity that has received significant financial donations from Trump.
