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.

For 8 years, Obama politicized the entire government into weapons grade corruption.
They’re now mostly swamp creatures. They’ve been in the swamp so long they’re blind to it.
If Comey and Mueller are a measure of trust or corruption, then God help us...both are swamp lizards...
Yeah the FBI is dedicated alright..to LYING..its what they do best
Agreed.
“Every day, FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line to protect the American public from national security and criminal threats.”
Unless it’s Hillary Clinton.
Or Lois Lerner.
Or Illegal immigrants....
I am blown away to see Obama and Holder out on the circuit...trying to protect their troops......Trump really is starting to cut close to the bone.
When have we ever seen ex-officials actively engaging to undermine a current administration.
The lines are drawn....their behavior is very ominous.
The FBI and DOJ is rotten to the core.
They’re dedicated, the question is to who and what.
........
Bingo
The FBI can apparently lie with impunity/immunity to the American Public.
Dishonorable
Sloppy
Politicized
Undignified
Unprofessional
On the contrary, Eric you piece of dogshit ... and you're responsible for a big part of it.
Then why is it that several mass shooters/bombers in recent memory have been known to the FBI?
At best FBI=
Famous
But
Incompetent.
The Agency has been worthless since Nixon’s days.
The FBI is corrupt from top to bottom.....fact.
The FBI is VASTLY overestimated in my humble opinion. Certainly relative to the HUGE amount of resources showered on them.
And they’ve been politicized and corrupted to the core.
They are NOT dedicated to the US Constitution or the rule of law! They are corrupt Global Communists/leftists. FBI agency should be disbanded for corruption and all employees let go.
the rank and file of the FBI are probably dedicated professionals but the upper echelons are very dirty with politics. Same with the CIA and NSA
Given the power of these agencies, the temptation for abuse and political corruption is always there. Unfortunately under Holder, Lynch and Comey, they went off the rails.
Putting someone on a “Watch List” is an action completed...
