How one House primary in Illinois could determine who oversees Capitol Police

The Facts
It has been reported that federal agents searched and seized the personal phone of Trump attorney John Eastman on June 22, per a lawsuit filed by Eastman seeking the return of the device and the destruction of its contents.
Eastman's lawsuit alleges that the search and seizure were improper but acknowledges that the device was seized under a warrant.
The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The DOJ has become a highly politicized institution. They are now engaging in highly coordinated, "Stasi-like" tactics to persecute their political enemies. This is behavior more typical of what occurred behind the Iron Curtain decades ago.
Left narrative
The judge's authorization of a search warrant establishes they found sufficient evidence on both Eastman and Clark of possible criminal misconduct. It is already known that Eastman requested to be on a "pardon list" and that he pleaded the 5th over 100 times when meeting with investigators. What's more likely here: a "deep state" conspiracy or a criminal one?
