FBI Agents Fire Back at Trump: Saying we're not dedicated is 'simply false'
The Hill ^ | 12/03/17 | Hunter Blair

Posted on 12/03/2017 6:40:53 PM PST by Enlightened1

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.

Nice job pretending it’s about the rank and file rather than the corrupt politicians at the top. Instead of attacking the messenger, maybe the FBI’s analog to Jimmy Hoffa should condemn the bad apples that destroy confidence in the good guys. But FBI corruption at the top doesn’t happen in a vacuum — a LOT of people are in on it or afraid to tell what they know.

I remember when the Clintons raided the Files on FBI agency employee’s in Billy Boy’s first term as President.

It was unauthorized and something like 700 or 800 FBI files with personal information were absconded by the Clintons.

Trump speaks the TRUTH......as always.

LEOs habitually lie to those they consider criminal or on whom they wish to pin a rap.

Nothing new here.

The article is based on a tweet from one guy and check out his twit feed.

I’ll come back and add screen shots since twits are time sensitive.

The corrupt so-called agent “demoted” (believe me, he has NOT had his pay or grade decreased) to HR? Crap, they likely put him in charge of their CONTINUING campaign to recruit more leftists into the FBI.

Clearly Thomas O’Connor is part of the swamp.

Anyone in the FBI who does not burn with indignation over the travesty of justice concerning Hillary’s illegal use of private email servers and the compromised national security she caused, is a total fraud. They are no patriot. They have no sense of honor, honesty, or justice.

The FBI is ruined as an institution because of the outright fraud at the very top of it.

It is corrupt, like the NSA, only they have no whistleblower like Edward Snowden.

There needs to be a complete rebuild of intelligence from the ground up, purging out the partisans, political hacks, NAZIs, Satanists, mob, drug and human traffickers, and ritual mind control deviants from our intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

Add to that the gaystoppo as well.

What’s it going to take? CW2? Revolution 2? WW3?

“When have we ever seen ex-officials actively engaging to undermine a current administration.”

Our fed govt has never been this irreparably corrupt. 28 years of bushes, clintons, & o’muslims...The swamp is in open rebellion to the Trump admin. Known to every sane person since Trump was first sworn in.

One man against a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state. That includes both parties & corrupt courts. Add the fake news and blue states to that mix and the odds of peaceably solving this is rather low.

When your former head, Comey, is leaking confidential documents to the press, you’ve got a problem.
When your agency is covering up the Clinton tarmac meeting with the AG, you’ve got a problem.
When you act as a bagman for the Clintons to deliver m9ney for Uranium One, youygot a problem.

Based on the IG investigation, it appears the FBI portion of the swamp will shortly be exposed and drained. Trump, Sessions, and other honest actors should brace for blowback

Trump’s storm is building and it is going to be massive.

This guy is gonna regret taking on the President. He got involved in a mess that didn’t pertain to him. Trump obviously wouldn’t fire every agent.

Or, perhaps, Trump knows THIS guy is a crook....
