Donald Trump attacks FBI for 'destroying' Michael Flynn's life (tr)
Daily Mail ^ | Dec 03, 2017 | JAMES WILKINSON

Michael Flynn's cooperation with the Russia probe seemed to unnerve President Donald Trump on Saturday night, and he lashed out at the FBI for 'destroying' the ex-adviser's life.

'So General Flynn lies to the FBI and his life is destroyed, while Crooked Hillary Clinton, on that now famous FBI holiday "interrogation" with no swearing in and no recording, lies many times... and nothing happens to her?' Trump wrote.

'Rigged system, or just a double standard?'

In a second tweet shortly after, Trump added: 'Many people in our Country are asking what the "Justice" Department is going to do about the fact that totally Crooked Hillary, AFTER receiving a subpoena from the United States Congress, deleted and "acid washed" 33,000 Emails? No justice!'

The tweets come the day after Flynn agreed to cooperate with the FBI's investigation into Russia's meddling with the presidential election.

Flynn pleaded guilty to lying about communicating with Russian ambassador and alleged spy Sergey Kislyak in December last year, before Trump stepped into office. Critics say that violates the 1799 Logan Act, which forbids unauthorized Americans from representing the US government to foreign powers that are in dispute with the US.

On Friday claims emerged that senior members of the Trump transition team, had identified Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and close adviser, as the man who told him to liaise with Russia.

Full title: Donald Trump attacks FBI for 'destroying' Michael Flynn's life by prosecuting him for Russia lies and asks why 'nothing happened' to 'Crooked Hillary' in late-night Twitter storm

Hmm, why nothing happened. Saying Hillary should be left alone once the election was over?

I find it a bit confusing. Why twitter politics? I think Trump has to cut this bull in other ways.

I think FBI should be disbanded. Close the agency for corruption and lay all the employees off.

Set up counter terrorism investigations in the Military - not allowing any prior FBI to transfer. Build from scratch. Set up specialized teams in local police forces to arrest terrorists or provide local investigation.

If current FBI employees want to be in law enforcement they can put on a blue uniform and work learning about the rule of law on the street with real law enforcement heroes.

Too many FBI are lawyers. I view used car salespeople in a better light than lawyers!

Is this supposed to be news, or just an opinion piece?

I think it’s great. I don’t buy this Trumps is nervous bit. I think he’s calling out what he thinks is inherently unfair since it looks like Podesta is going to slide. He hasn’t been arrested yet, he hasn’t been paraded in front of the news media to be questioned by the FBI.

There so much wrong with this it’s incomprehensible. I think Trump should just take the Secret Service over and start arresting people.

The point Trump is a national leader. He is somehow responsible for wrongdoing of national institutions.

Trump needs to get his AG off his duff and do what he was hired to do. Sessions should be ashamed of himself.

I believe it's as simple as.. "Jeff Sessions needs to be REPLACED."

“I find it a bit confusing. Why twitter politics? I think Trump has to cut this bull in other ways.”

I guess he could E-Mail a press release to the major networks hoping they’d report it on the news...just to have it go into their trash bins, as was always done with Republicans.

Now I understand your post. To your point...he is limited, I think, by the Deep State. He cannot ORDER the DOJ or FBI to conduct specific investigations, so if they don’t feel like it, they won’t...which is what we’re seeing. He can try replacing people, but his picks seems to take many months for the Senate to get around to acting on them.

He’s got a mess on his hands.

Why wasn’t Hillery put under oath but Flynn was? That’s utter BS.
