Will the FIB continue its Jihad on Trump or will all those resources be diverted to set up the few remaining conservatives in DC? The only foreign agents the FIB is interested in are the ones on their payroll.

Misleading headline. The FBI is unhappy that some are receiving brides from foreign governments without providing the FBI their cut. The FBI will be cracking down on this corruption.

The fbi is pathetic. Their selective enforcement of the law and their own massive corruption make them dangerous to a free Republic.

They are worried about the US doing the bribing not the other way around. They want the big guy to get his 10%.
