The Federal Bureau of Investigation has shocked many Americans by becoming a politicized law enforcement arm of the Democrat party. As the target of one of the FBI and Department of Justice political attacks -- solely because I had been talking to Ukrainian whistleblowers about Biden family corruption in that country -- I want to discuss the problem. It starts with the most political Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray.
How exactly did Wray become Director? The saga of who headed the most prestigious and respected (previous to Wray) law enforcement agency under Donald Trump includes political naiveite as well as sophistication, depending on the actor.
The naiveite begins with the Trump transition team. My husband (and law partner) Joe diGenova and I sent message after message to the team to have President-elect Trump fire then-Director James Comey immediately. We were well aware of his many instances of harassing conservatives with baseless federal investigations.
We were informed that “New Yorkers” on Trump’s team thought it would look “unseemly.” They were unaware that cleaning house in a new administration is regular order in D.C. How did it look months later when Trump fired Comey in the midst of the Russia, Russia, Russia! investigation?
Having limited knowledge of both Washington politics (one must know who the alligators are to drain the swamp) and federal law enforcement, Trump turned to a person who should have such knowledge to propose a Comey replacement: former U.S. Attorney (Eastern District of New Jersey) and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie had been a political opponent, then avid supporter of Trump. What better background for a person asked to suggest a new FBI Director. Christie’s choice: Chris Wray.

Trump has gotten terrible advice from people recommending personnel choices. It is as if they were trying to sabotage him.
“Trump has gotten terrible advice from people recommending personnel”
I hate to be a turd in the punchbowl, but him placing Sessions, Barr, and Wray in their positions was the beginning of the end. It’s almost impossible to defend him for that. WHO among his advisors was driving that train?
NO!
How could that be?!?!
How could good, card carrying members of the Republican party be accused of trying to undermine President Trump?!?
BLASPHEMY!!!
/s
Is a two bit bully really the 'look' the FBI wants?
BTTT
Probably the same guy who thought pardoning Charles Kushner on the way out the door was a good idea.
No, they're going more for the Red Guard/KGB/Stasi look.
I TOTALLY understood hiring Sessions since he was the ONLY Senator who supported HIM!
YES! DUH. The DEMOCRATS want ALL ALL REPUBLICANS made into their ENEMIES!
Sessions was a complete disappointment. That ambitious coward was a complete surprise.
Now Madame, who the hell can you trust? Not any DC or Ivy League lawyer! Not any lawyer from those big corrupt DC law firms? You can’t trust anyone from the Intel Community! How about the Brass from the Military? Nope we tried that!
So Madame, WHO?
Give me names!
The fbi has the power to detain people, to put them in handcuffs, to create a false set of statements that will put someone in prison.
When an agency with that much power is used to harass and silence the president’s political enemies, the country is no better than Russia and the KGB, East Germany and the Stasi, Romania and the Securitate.
I can forgive Trump in the first year for this. But after that, I am sick of the excuses.
Trump still endorsed McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel. He pushed leftists like Walker and Oz as candidates.
Sorry, but the only person to blame is Trump.
“The fbi has the power to detain people, to put them in handcuffs, to create a false set of statements that will put someone in prison.”
Abuses of power by local and state police resulted in body cameras becoming a requirement in many police departments. It is long past time for FBI agents being required to wear video cameras when undertaking their SWAT team assaults on citizens.
In addition, the Miranda ruling should be expanded requiring any interrogation of a citizen, voluntary or involuntary, by law enforcement to be recorded on video. All statements by witnesses in an investigation should also be on video and those video tapes provided to the defense attorney.
“So Madame, WHO?
“Give me names!”
Why so combative? How the hell should I know? I’m a retired secretary?
FBI Wray is in Indy now I guess planning stuffing the crowds with FBI Agents and CI’s.
For the NRA show coming up.
You're right... marching backwards, flags waving toward a violent police state. "Show me the man - I'll show you the crime'... the opposite of a free people's "presumption of innocence".
Eff police state thugs and goons in 'intelligence' and the dirty 'DOJ'...
