The head of FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) fired back at President Trump’s comments against the bureau on Sunday, saying any suggestion that agents aren’t dedicated to their jobs “is simply false.”
“Every day, FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line to protect the American public from national security and criminal threats. Agents perform these duties with unwavering integrity and professionalism and a focus on complying with the law and the Constitution,” FBIAA head Thomas O’Connor said in a statement.
”This is why the FBI continues to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world. FBI Agents are dedicated to their mission; suggesting otherwise is simply false.”
Trump tweeted earlier Sunday that the FBI’s reputation was in “tatters” after being lead by former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired in May.
“After years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History! But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness,” Trump tweeted.
Obama Attorney General Eric Holder also hit back at Trump’s comments earlier Sunday.
“Nope. Not letting this go. The FBI’s reputation is not in ‘tatters,’” Holder tweeted. “It’s composed of the same dedicated men and women who have always worked there and who do a great, apolitical job.”
“You’ll find integrity and honesty at FBI headquarters and not at 1600 Penn Ave right now.”
Trump made the comments after a report that special counsel Robert Mueller removed an FBI agent from his team for potentially making anti-Trump remarks.
Mueller was appointed as special counsel after Trump fired Comey.

The FBI is the corrupt, rotten, decaying center of the Deep State. It should be abolished, demolished, burned to ashes, then a new, very limited federal investigative agency can replace it...and any current employees of the FBI should receive a lifetime ban from working for any federal law enforcement entity.
The problem is how many FBI and other intelligence agency staff are dedicated not to the good of the country but the Democrat party.
FBI Agents Fire Back at Trump: Saying we’re not dedicated is ‘simply false’
PROVE IT !
That’s true of government “workers” at any level of government: city, state, fed. They are zombies. If you expect them to work competently, you are their enemy.
No problems here with Hoover, he made the FBI what it was, the best law enforcement agency in the world. No more. The leadership is political hacks, nothing more.
“We are dedicated to improving the Bureau to ensure all FBI agents are treated in a fair manner and to ensure the best possible climate for the effective discharge of their professional duties.”

I will be honest every last one of these agents, should be thrown in jail for violating their oath to uphold the constitution and utilize powers that is no where mentioned there in.
The fact that other federal employees approve of their behavior does not remove their responsibility to uphold the limits of the constitution.
