Trump: 'Great' people at FBI 'starting to speak out against Comey, McCabe'

Source: The Hill



BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 05/24/18 09:18 AM EDT

President Trump claimed on Thursday that people working at the FBI were starting to speak out against former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.




t wasn't completely clear from Trump's tweet what he was referring to, though the Daily Caller reported on Tuesday that various FBI agents wanted Congress to subpoena them so they could talk about problems at the bureau under Comey and McCabe.

However, other members of the intelligence community have hit back against Trump's claims, including his argument that the FBI had a spy embedded in his campaign for political purposes.

Several media reports have zeroed in on a Cambridge professor who acted as an informant in contacting three of Trump's campaign advisers to look into possible ties with Russia.

The self-fulfilling prophesy trick has an expiration date. This one, to split the FBI.

If there are political ideologues in the FBI let them be known. If they are loyal to Trump instead of the American citizens I wanna know. Name names, like you outed an FBI confidential informant.

But once again, like "many people are saying", when Trump says "people are speaking out" the only one talking is Donald Trump himself.

12. Maybe someone in the press corp will ask one of the lackeys that stands at the podium

do you have names of individuals that are currently working at the DOJ and FBI that will publicly back your claim, do you have there names?

And if they get the same old bullshit, then come back and say, you just made a claim, that is either a lie or its a lie, which one is it?

The public has a right to know who these people are.....................don't you think?

Because after all your criminal enterprise is just throwing "stuff " out there hoping it sticks to the wall involved in demeaning the rule of law and trying to deflect the lie of having embedded liars and "traitors in your administration"!!!!!!!!






November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

No collusion was necessary. It was all one giant corporate-style cooperation!

Trump is just trying to confuse with distractions, lies, obfuscations, and turmoil.
