The FBI is an organization that is the Investigative arm of the United States that defend their own against attacks within their ranks be those attacks come from the POTUS or anyone else. I have this on good authority from a former FBI Agent friend of mine .
The political move by Trump to fire Jim Comey because of his refusal to be loyal to him, prompted the FBI to protect Andrew McCabe. The firing of McCabe just before he was to receive his pension he has earned, was indeed in retaliation of his support of Comey to undermine the Mueller Russia investigation. The men and women of the FBI do not forget. Nor should they. They will retaliate in a very quiet way. It is just a matter of time. They will support Mueller no matter how much Trump attacks.
Wil this influence the Mid term elections? You betcha! The word CORRUPTION will be key by Democrats that we are under constant attack as a Republic from Russia and Trump is allowing it, and that those Republicans encouraging Trump are as deplorable and dispicable as he is, are complicit in that CORRUPTION.

(16,783 posts)1. I encourage all DUers to contact their member of Congress......
And encourage them to call the Trump Administration CORRUPT in their public statements and those who cower to Trump, CORRUPT as well. That means Congressional Republicans and those running for office. The moniker is not a badge of honor. Others retired from Government , expect their voices to come forth. This is only going to get nastier.
The "basket of deplorables" just might decide to abandon the TRUMPTANIC as rats are known when a ship is sinking.

(68,552 posts)3. That is true...but many will be so fearful...they will be more concerned with CYA which is what
Trump hopes for...I will call Congress and the White House line and tell them how despicable it is to use our justice system for political revenge.
