FBI agents fire back at Trump: Saying we're not dedicated is 'simply false'

[UCmeNdc]

The head of FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) fired back at President Trump’s comments against the bureau on Sunday, saying any suggestion that agents aren’t dedicated to their jobs “is simply false.”

“Every day, FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line to protect the American public from national security and criminal threats. Agents perform these duties with unwavering integrity and professionalism and a focus on complying with the law and the Constitution,” FBIAA head Thomas O’Connor said in a statement.

”This is why the FBI continues to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world. FBI Agents are dedicated to their mission; suggesting otherwise is simply false.”

1. If Trump had tried that meme against the FBI while J. Edgar was in charge,

J. Edgar would be showing Trump videos of Trump's sex parties for the past decade to him and asking him to issue a new statement.

5. Hoover would be showing them to reporters!

2. The push-back has begun

Trump has been insulting many wings of the American system. The FBI is only one of those organizations Trump has insulted since before he was a candidate.

Consider his comments about the military, Congress and even members of his own party.

The push-back has finally started and Trump will find himself without too many allies.

6. Except I'm tired of Comey's Biblical Tweets, like he's some righteous guy.

7. Ignore Comey

In the bigger picture, James Comey is simply another witness. That's all.

Robert Mueller is the star of this epic tragedy. In the end, he'll be more important and influential that Eliot Ness, Sam Ervin or John Dean.

10. I don't CARE about Comey, but his Tweets ARE brought here. So I read!

[PJMcK]

12. You're right about Comey's "righteousness"

I read them, too, and he's vaguely annoying.

This history we're living through is far too amazing and frightening to miss anything, however.

My point is simply that Comey will end up being a minor character albeit an crucial one. His little commentaries have no effect.

Have a good week, WinkyDink!

3. How dumb do you have to be to piss off the people investigating you?

Maybe this is part of Don's act so when he's charged with something he can plead insanity.

9. Insults and bullying are his ony tools

He has been so pampered that he really never had to try to get along with others. Most people around him had to bow down, I mean learn to get along with him. So, his only social skill, aside from being awkward and abrupt, is insults and bullying. It's worked for him so far.

4. Keep digging ... I mean Tweeting ...

8. Never pick a fight with those who can put you away for decades

That's a lesson Donnie Moscow either never learned or is ignoring, thinking he's above the law, just like the criminal mind he is.

11. Id bet money he has no idea how the FBI works or what it does.

He thinks of agents as employees and Has no more concept of the scope of their training or loyalty than he does anything else. I hope they keep serving the country in spite of all he has done to them.
