Presidents dont 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.

Trump and his minions seem to think they can out-leak the FBI. Obviously they havent been paying attention.

So the conspiracy theorists weren’t paranoid afterall. Thanks for confirming the utter corruption of this institution. Disbande the FBI!!
Yeah JK, that'll never happen.
Waco Waco Waco Waco. The FIB was criminal there and now!!!
The Deep State paid shill has to earn his kick back pay. He also needs to return a few favors. They probably also have "Something" on him.
I’d surely be an early casualty, but if it’s comin’ I wanna be around to see it.
That’s what it reads like to me.
Harry Truman was close friends with Pendergrast. Close enough he went to his funeral.
Atlanta Olympics, 1996:
An overweight security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb in a crowded Atlanta park, an act of terror. He alerts the cops, but the bomb goes off and a desperate Bill Clinton facing a reelection bid ORDERS the FBI to simplify things by making Richard Jewell the perp.
Knowing Richard Jewell revers real cops the FBI brings him in for questioning, finally pretending to relent and accept his story of innocence. They then flattered him and lowered his guard by chatting him up in grand style like A Law Enforcement Colleague.
The FBI then claimed to Jewell that they were making a Training Videotape simulation in which a perp under questioning breaks down and confresses to a bombing, Ah shucks, our actor crapped out, got sick, say Richard, would ya help us FBI guys out..?
A micrometer away from consenting to help them with their training video, Jewell suddenly realizes if he cooperated with his friends, they might turn around use the tape against him in the world famous bombing that just transpired.
He calls his ex-roomate, a lawyer, who admonishes Jewell that hes in very grave danger. He leaves the FBI questioning and AVOIDS LIFE IN PRISON BY A WHISKER.
YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.
It started at least 20 years ago.
Wow. Just wow.
My wow is a bookmark.
I’m going to come back with an actual comment on this unbelievable screed later.
All a President really has to do to drain the swamp is break the auto-pen.
Do you have one of those Pioneer of the Revolution bandanas from when you were little?
Yup. Doubt they understand the scale of the blowback would be.
A not-so-veiled threat from...wait, who? Eugene Robinson? Oh, please. I have some history for him: if it comes to it, the inciters will get the same thing the perpetrators do. It won’t be pretty for either.
Eugene Robinson, lackey of the Coomies. Lock him up with the rest of ‘em. McCarthy was RIGHT.
Thank you for reminding me how much I genuinely hate Lon Horiuchi.
Bezos must be worried. They have trotted out the dumbest most Racist black guy they could find twice this week.
FBI needs to put the Washington POST under surveillance.. THEY are part of the swamp, and there resides some of the monsters.
The Post has it backward.
Trump is not messing with the FBI. The FBI/DOJ conspirators are messing with Trump.
And, apparently they don’t know he is a warrior.
That's a great point! He's saying that if the president pushes the outrageous notion that the FBI would attempt to destroy a president, then the FBI will attempt to destroy the president.
I’ll carpool with you to DC.
This is clearly a threat. THEY hope to intimidate him, but our REAL president can’t be intimidated.
