The FBI Agents Association decried what it called the distraction of congressional “partisan politics” after a House GOP memo alleging anti-Trump bias at the bureau was released Friday afternoon.
“The American people should know that they continue to be well-served by the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency,” FBIAA president Tom O’Connor said in a statement. “FBI Special Agents have not, and will not, allow partisan politics to distract us from our solemn commitment to our mission.”
Despite strenuous objections from the Justice Department and FBI, the White House ordered that the declassified memo, which was put together by staff for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), be released with no redactions.
It alleges that the DOJ and several top FBI officials failed to disclose that a dossier of damaging information about the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia served as part of the basis for a surveillance warrant against a former adviser to the campaign.
FBI leadership and rank-and-file have insisted that the four-page document is inaccurate and misleading, pitting the Trump White House squarely against his own intelligence community.

That’s good, because the American people are facing a serious threat and could use some help.
Maybe, just maybe, they’ll start voting for the Democratic ticket now.
These sound like the rank-and-file agents Trump tried to stroke in yesterday’s tweet. Looks like Democratic subversion of the Bureau extends all the way down! Maybe the GOP should just recommend abolishing it, and expand ICE’s mandate.
And they went on to say , “It is especially unfortunate for you stupid motherfuckers who can’t seem to grasp the concept we’re the good guys. because we have a shitload of incriminating evidence on all of you.
Payback will be a bitch”
From CNN…
“Trump, by accusing the leadership of having a bias against Republicans,
is once again maligning people he appointed to their roles, including
FBI Director Christopher Wray, a man Trump nominated after he fired
former FBI Director James Comey in May.”
…Let that last part sink in. Again, toss that on the ever growing pile of O-O-J evidence. My two cents.
