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.”
Trump tweeted earlier Sunday that the FBI’s reputation was in “tatters” after being lead by former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired in May.
“After years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History! But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness,” Trump tweeted.
Obama Attorney General Eric Holder also hit back at Trump’s comments earlier Sunday.
“Nope. Not letting this go. The FBI’s reputation is not in ‘tatters,’” Holder tweeted. “It’s composed of the same dedicated men and women who have always worked there and who do a great, apolitical job.”
“You’ll find integrity and honesty at FBI headquarters and not at 1600 Penn Ave right now.”
Trump made the comments after a report that special counsel Robert Mueller removed an FBI agent from his team for potentially making anti-Trump remarks.
Mueller was appointed as special counsel after Trump fired Comey.

Over the years, we have seen that the FBI is a mediocre law enforcement agency. Since we have had so many massive shootings, terrorist attacks, bank robberies, scandals in the highest office of government etc we can say the FBI should be disbanded as a failed organization
Dedicated to and devoted to Swamp Retention. Squish.
“There’s nothing worse than a dirty cop.”
How bout a deep-state compromised rat bastard of an ‘Attorney General’?
I stopped trusting the FBI and the ATF when they murdered 90 men, women and children at WACO and when they murdered Randy Weavers wife and son at Ruby Ridge.
The upper echelon of the FBI, including Muelker and Comey and McCabe. Have proven themselves to be lying traitorous cowards. Never forget Mueller was head of FBI before during and after 9/11
“It’s time. Damn the impeachment torpedoes, gut the entire DOJ starting with that rat bastard, Jeff Sessions.”
No impeachment is necessary! Trump can say bye bye to any of them any time he chooses, and he doesn’t even have to have a reason. I am just wondering why he doesn’t?
The FBI dedication is supposed to be the Constitution and the rule of law. President Trump as well as the rest of the country clearly sees they fall way too short of that. The FBI, DHS, BATFE, CIA and the NSA are now so politicized and corrupted by the corrupt DC establishment that each agency needs to be totally and thoroughly dismantled. Under President Trump, I believe the US military can be trusted to step in for now and right this sinking ship. That may well avoid CW2.
Same here. They said Hitlery committed crimes but they refused to pass on prosecution. the FBI, Famous But Incompetent is corrupt.
The FBI hasn't said that.
“I am just wondering why he doesn’t?”
Because the repuki party has threatened to impeach him if he does. The reason why I said, ‘damn the impeachment torpedoes’
That falls under my definition of a dirty cop.
We could ask LaVoy Finicum, but he got backshot...
We don't have to be gentle when they skin the anti-Trump coup smokewagon...
I can’t blame you at all.
I agree that it should be dismantled.
In fact, any government agency or organ that abuses or misuses power entrusted to it should be dismantled, and never rebuilt.
You abuse it, you lose it. Forever.
Crooks.
You’re exactly right.
When Comey announced there was no reason to go after Hillary, we KNEW for sure that the FBI is entirely corrupt and now works AGAINST we the people.
I’m saying it.
If Hillary had won, they’d be running her police state without a peep.
