Messing with the FBI? Trump doesn’t know history [direct threat]
Washington Post ^ | 2/1/18 | Eugene Robinson

Posted on 02/01/2018 7:13:59 PM PST by markomalley

Presidents don’t win fights with the FBI. Donald Trump apparently wants to learn this lesson the hard way.

Most presidents have had the sense not to bully the FBI by defaming its leaders and — ridiculously — painting its agents as leftist political hacks. Most members of Congress have also understood how unwise it would be to pull such stunts. But Trump and his hapless henchmen on Capitol Hill, led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), have chosen the wrong enemy. History strongly suggests they will be sorry.

(snip)

Trump and his minions seem to think they can out-leak the FBI. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention.

How many FIB agents are studying the military strategy of Robert Ross.

This punk believes that the FBI should be a tool to destroy rather than investigate. Given that that is exactly what these stooges at the FBI were trying to do get Hillary elected when the shiite hits the fan this punk should be paid a visit from the Secret Service.

Eff this effing piece of sh!t democrat-ass licker. Is this a threat against President Trump? Is this a message sent through a useful idiot from the FBI to the White House? Or better yet, is this from Bath House Barry? Or Cankles McPantsuit Clintoon?

Oh Lord, protect President Trump and take out these evil people.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

Isn’t there some more JFK files to be released, Trump should release them ahead of time in response to this.

Thanks SD.

There are many many folks here that love President Trump and also realize what the world might look like without a strong America.

If God is for Trump (and it sure looks like HE is!) then God help those that oppose him!

*U*S*A*!!!!!!

You’re right. Reading anything by Eugene Robinson is a waste of time. But it’s good to know what the far left is thinking, if they’re ‘thinking.’

The FBI cannot do jack without the support of the “Progressive” media.

The “Progressive” media no longer controls the narrative.

Inconceivable concussion.

Donald Trump has all the political oxygen in Washington.

Trump should have had this guy picked up and returned in front of a hospital with an IRA Six-Pack.

The Washington Post is the darkness where democracy goes to die. Cover-up media. Protect demonrats at all costs.

It’s a blatant threat. Robinson may be the one who delivered it but it came from the troika..... the DemonRats, the FBI and the enemedia. This message confirms their locked arms alliance.

Good luck with that. Middle America is more heavily armed. And we are watching.
