It could have been the worst decision of his presidency: on Tuesday, Donald Trump fired the FBI chief James Comey and got into contradictory justifications. On Thursday, Trump then frankly admitted that the ongoing investigation had played a role in his Russia affair at least - and emphasized that the allegations were anyway lying. The FBI did not like that at all. Now the agents seem to want to strike back.

Together with the judicial system, the FBI is preparing a so-called "secret indictment" against the president, the journalists Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor report. This form of prosecution is levied because of serious crimes, but unlike other complaints, it is concealed from the public for a time - to weigh the accused in safety. The two journalists refer to independent sources. People want to know from the intelligence circles about the preparations, Taylor should be the story from the judiciary have been stuck.

It re-hashes the same stuff, and concludes with:

The two journalists Talyor and Mensch are considered extremely well networked. People had already reported in November about the FBI monitoring Trumps, other media could cover the story months later. Also from the ongoing investigations against Trumps Wahlteam both had learned at an early stage of their sources. Man, however, is a very irascible personality. The Englishwoman sat as a deputy of the Conservative Torys in the British Parliament before she took office and moved to New York. In the past, she has represented several remarkable theories, which she could not prove.
