Where is the GOP rift on the FBI's use of dirty dossier?

NY Times:

Republican Attacks on Mueller and F.B.I. Open New Rift in G.O.P.

A campaign to discredit the F.B.I. and the special counsel investigating President Trump is growing more heated, splitting the Republican Party.
I do not see a "rift."  It appears that some in the FBI strongly opposed Trump as a candidate and later as a President.  It also appears they bought into the lies contained in Democrats opposition research project which paid Russians for unsubstantiated claims against Trump.  This led some in the agency to participate in what looks like a coup attempt against the President.

The best way for the FBI to regain its credibility is to quickly disavow the dirty dossier and for Mueller to wrap up his investigation and clear the air.

By now it is clear that they have found no evidence to support the claims made in the Clinton opposition research material.  That they got fooled into using it as a vehicle to spy on the Trump campaign is something that should be dealt with by DOJ and those responsible should be disciplined or fired.
