If something is against “national interest” and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE’S head as an obvious grab for power.
I’m not american, so I don’t have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don’t self identify as fascist should be against this.
If you don’t interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.
So the issue is that this is not what they are referring to. What they are talking about is when the FBI (and CIA) get involved in politics or directly sway things in direction that is outside of what the FBI is for.

This is literally why the FBI & CIA exist.
They exist for personal gain of organizations inside of the US to use to their sole benefit?
