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.”

Phil Mudd. Was his great grandad the doctor who helped the assasin and traitor John Wilkes Boothe?

I work for Homeland Security. If this kind of nonsense was going on in DHS, I would want it to be exposed and dealt with.

Is there any doubt that Divine Providence had a hand in writing our Constitution? “The Government” best take into consideration “The Military” and an extreme well armed Militia. We voted him in. Do anything against the President and you are attempting a coup, and you will reap the whirlwind.

Rank and File Agents on the streets doing all the dirty work and taking all the risks are overwhelmingly Trump supporters.

he did not say that and it is more BS”,

He did say it:

And he also said (on the air) that people in certain agencies are going to "kill this guy (Trump)."

I am responding to the “screw the entire FBI crowd”

That is what CNN wants us to say when they say this outlandish crap.

The average FBI agent is no more the problem or to blame than the average private that loaded bombs on planes when Clinton ventured into Bosnia. It was an attempt to be a friendly reminder that the President himself has said NUMEROUS times that he supports and appreciates the men and women of the FBI. His feud is not with the agency - it is with the political appointee and inner circle holdovers from the previous administration who apparently weaponized the FBI against Trump. I imagine many if not most of them are pretty disgusted by what occurred.

It is sad, yet very revealing, that so many on the left appear to fantasize about a police agency taking out a duly elected leader.

She had to endure abuse from that wack job Corey Booker.

She handled herself very well.

I meant Trump did not say he opposes the FBI

The lunatic referenced in this thread from CNN would likely say anything he could to cause Trump problems.

I’d be inclined to ask Mr. Mudd what the score was, and what game we are really playing. By all appearances thus far, the top brass of the FBI staged an open rebellion against their superior, not because of a loyalty to the constitution but because of a partisan bias and disregard for the oaths they swore to uphold. And how’s that working out for Comey, McCabe, Strzock, etc...? How’s it working out for Trump?

I am sure there are good rank and file FBI agents. The problem the FBI has right now is that it was converted into a cesspool under Obama. Other agencies have long been infected with vermin (DOJ, State, EPA, etc.)

I remember talks of "scores of FBI agents about to quit and make public statements!" when Comey cleared Hillary.

It was all bluster. I didn't see a news report about one agent that actually took a stand and quit. If I am wrong, please post the link to me. Thanks.
