CNN’s Phil Mudd: FBI’s ‘Ticked’ at Trump Over Memo and They’re ‘Going to Win’ in End
Mediaite ^ | 3 Feb 18 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 02/03/2018 5:56:08 PM PST by SkyPilot

CNN counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd is known for making provocative on-air remarks and generally being fired up during segments. A CNN appearance on Friday, however, may end up being his most notorious yet.

Hours after the controversial Nunes memo dropped, Mudd indicated that the FBI was going to take matters into its own hands and make sure they eventually come out on top in a head-to-head battle with the president. With the FBI and its director already making their objections to the memo — which purports to show FISA abuses within the Russia probe — crystal clear before its release, Mudd said that agents at the bureau are angry and will stop President Donald Trump from dismantling the Russia investigation.

“The workforce will look at this and say this is an attack on our ability to conduct an investigation with integrity,” he exclaimed during a CNN panel discussion. “There are hundreds of agents and analysts working. This not just Christopher Wray, the FBI director.”

He continued, “So I’m going to tell you the FBI people are ticked. If you think you can push us off this because you can intimidate the director, you’d better think again. You’ve been around for 13 months. We’ve been around since 1908. I know how this game is going to be played. We’re going to win.”

When pride of institution rises up against the fear of God, this is what it looks like.

Oh, I’m sorry. Didn’t mean my comment to be offensive in any way, just my genuine reaction. Keep in mind, I’m just a little old lady who doesn’t even like the modern church songs, preferring the beautiful traditional hymns....lol : )

I would argue all alphabet agencies need total levelling and many, not ever rebuilding or replacing again.

And I would argue that you are 100% correct.

He missed the signs for 9/11

He threatened the Presidents life on TV

He is a swamp turd who needs to be prosecuted

It’s still got way more listens than its counterparts. I have asked Ronnie, who did the sound production, if he can get a more “redneck” voice in our recordings. And he says he may try. His is more of a straight Chicago voice, losing some of the sense.

You do not win running an operation this openly to take out a sitting president. This is rather scary they are so sure of themselves and are so blind to the consequences if they do pull it off while the American people are watching. People this arrogant and sure of themselves are dangerous.

I want to believe the FBI are good honest people running the agency. From Waco crushing the kids to death with no accountability. To the Las Vegas shooting where the dead guy in Paddocks room had brown eyes and Paddock has blue eyes. That wasn't Paddock on the floor.

What the heck is going on with the FBI? They make me nervous.

This too will get pushed off of the news cycle by the next shiny bauble, and Donald probably even has a good idea what it will be (though God may surprise us with something out of the blue).

FBI = Fan Belt Inspectors

My few interactions with the FNI(as a HVAC contractor) showed them to be arrogant and self serving (righteous). The Secret Service guys, in contrast, are much more professional and at the same time more down to earth in attitude._

Definitely a black hat. He spent 10 years in the CIA before moving to FBI; could still be on the payroll for media (Operation Mockingbird).

If higher ups can coax the lower downs into numbing their consciences we are all in big trouble.

And in the media bubble, academia, the "Resist" movement, and Democrat circles, they have all convinced each other that violent rhetoric and violent actions are "necessary and justified."

I thought the same thing. And if you believe that Mockingbird is real (I didn't used to, but I do now), it could be that his words were an activation code.

Again, I would never have said something like that a year ago. But today....?

Roger Mudd (who will turn 90 next week) is related to Dr. Mudd (but not a direct descendant). I don’t know if he and Phil Mudd are related.

Anyone plotting physical harm to the President should face the fate of the Lincoln Conspirators. Quick trial by a military tribunal, public hooded hanging at the Capitol in retribution and as a signal to others contemplating similar crimes. BTW, Dr. Mudd, perhaps an ancestor of this blowhard, spent seven years in the Dry Tortugas federal prison for treating John Wilkes Booth after the assassination; he knew exactly who Booth was, just as much of a jerk as his descendant.

But please pray for our overall music endeavor. It isn’t intended to play in churches, but on radios and in cars and trucks etc. Parachurch gospel music. On the site it’s possible to page through more.
