Trump rips FBI before speech at its training academy

Source: The Hill




BY JORDAN FABIAN - 12/15/17 10:39 AM EST

President Trump on Friday tore into the FBI just hours before speaking at the agency’s training academy. “It’s a shame what happened to the FBI. But we’re going to rebuild the FBI, it’ll be bigger and better than ever,” Trump told reporters.

The president doubled down on his criticism of the nation’s top law enforcement agency before leaving the White House for the FBI’s campus in Quantico, Va., where he will speak to law enforcement leaders graduating from a training program.

Trump said revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and text messages from a top agent that were critical of him were “really, really disgraceful.”

“You have a lot of very angry people who are seeing it,” the president said.

NOT! Graduates eager to apply the knowledge they learned from the FBI should be appalled at Trump's stupid, clueless remarks about the FBI.

FBI is one of the most respected institutions in the country, and I'm for one, am glad that they are truly professional in their dealings and demeanor...I worked a bit w/ them in providing them requested data during my career, and always came away feeling this way. It's a good feeling that there is a nationwide, truly professional organization working to protect all of us from internal US murderers, bank robbers, etc. They are also called on repeatedly by our allies (what few we have left now because of idiot/tRUMP).

Keep it up guys, you're doing a job I wouldn't want to do, it's hard, it's dirty, it's dealing w/ the scumbags of America...

Let’s see:
FBI agents applauded at:
Death penalty.
Kicking immigrants out.
Detaining American citizens
Buying military surplus.
The previous president sucked
What do you really learn down there at the academy?

That a prosecutor has to be nice to someone they are investigating?
That a prosecutor has to like someone they are investigating?
That a prosecutor has to say only nice things about someone they are investigating?

"My prosecutor was a blast to be around, he was always cracking me up!"... said by absolutely nobody charged with a crime. ever.
