trump Implicates his Hand-Picked FBI Director in Democratic Coup

When Donald Trump famously fired Jim Comey as FBI Director, he chose to install Christopher Wray in his place. Wray had previously served as the Assistant Attorney General under previous President, George W. Bush.

Wray has earned the ire of the President by agreeing with the intelligence assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. On Sunday night, Trump tweeted that his own nominee, Wray is a toady and the FBI has no leadership.

The president wrote, “Just another abuse of power in a long series of abuses of power by the Democrats that began during the Obama Administration, continued through the Mueller FBI operation, & now the baton has been passed to Jerry Nadler to continue to abuse power to harass President Trump.

He then implicated his FBI Director in the apparent scheme, “and the Democrat National Committee-The Democrat Party apparatus-has been caught using donor Dollars to Collude with Russian Intelligence to attack a domestic political opponent (me). The FBI has no leadership. The Director is protecting the same gang…..that tried to….overthrow the president through and illegal coup.”

He seems to post in third person a lot. They sound like tweets that others write for him to post.

recognized those trends. And it appears the third person is being used more and more.

There is a Campaign Strategy in play with his tweets. His mention of Frank Luntz last week told the world the story.

"The thin line that upholds our democratic traditions by now is paper thin. One more top replacement at the FBI, one more top replacement at the CIA, and at the NIA, and those agencies also will be brought under Trump's full control...

...There's been a wholesale housecleaning of the top echelons of the FBI. When Trump decides it's time to invent a pretense to move against Christopher Wray, his personally installed but insufficiently subservient head of the FBI, what Republican Senators will show more loyalty to him than they did to Jeff Sessions?"

He now refers to himself in the third-person. I don't know what it means, but I never heard Presidents Obama or Bush say "President Me says this..."

I guess people were confused about who Trump meant when he said "your favorite president" and they asked, "Obama?"

That republicans - as a whole - are whiny, brain dead idiots as well. That party is truly dead. It's the party of Trump now, and they're all going to end up in the wastebasket of history with him.
