He didn't say previous abuses didn't occur, he said he doesn't trust this administration to not have ulterior selfish political motives.

Edit: Also, poor form or not, I see the same patterns here as I do on threads about china and the people that took over bitcoin - votes up in increments, then all comments are downvoted multiple times in batches. That and lots of whataboutism.
