Messing with the FBI? Trump doesn’t know history [direct threat]
Washington Post ^ | 2/1/18 | Eugene Robinson

Posted on 02/01/2018 7:13:59 PM PST by markomalley

Presidents don’t win fights with the FBI. Donald Trump apparently wants to learn this lesson the hard way.

Most presidents have had the sense not to bully the FBI by defaming its leaders and — ridiculously — painting its agents as leftist political hacks. Most members of Congress have also understood how unwise it would be to pull such stunts. But Trump and his hapless henchmen on Capitol Hill, led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), have chosen the wrong enemy. History strongly suggests they will be sorry.

(snip)

Trump and his minions seem to think they can out-leak the FBI. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention.

Trump doesn’t scare easy. Even at his age, he squares off against attackers...

>>Thinking and reasoning Americans need to be aware that if these same people return to power, they will make Nazi Germany look like Kindergarten.<<

According to my read on Daniel and Revelation, these folks will definitelym violently and massively return to power. When they do, it will be worldwide with an unrelenting and brutal enforcement.

It’s not Amazon. If it’s the WP, the message is from the Langley bunch. The FBI is their firewall.

Robinson, through hypocritical gymnastics, can praise the FBI and mention MLK in the same sentence. The left hated the FBI, except now they are doing the bidding of the DNC and going after Trump, so their secret illegal leaking makes them the heroes. Somehow, in Robinson’s world.

In that book, “Enemies: History of the FBI” by Tim Weiner, it is reported and conveniently not mentioned by Robinson, that Hoover illegally wiretapped the political opponents of FDR, who then consented and continued the corruption and politicization of the FBI. Robinson the fool praises the organization he should be despising as a so-called liberal. Then he dares Trump, gleefully, that the FBI are the better leakers, which means they are the better criminals, and that yes we are living in a lawless nation run by megalomaniac secret policemen. He was quite satisfied with that outcome, like he was happy Trump was going to be attacked by the secret police, just like Russia, just like Cuba.

What are the facts? That they accused Trump of treason, that he conspired with the Russians in an illegal way to steal the election. That is what they are looking for, and it is preposterous, but they grotesquely have summoned a Special Counsel to spend years looking for crimes where none exist. Privately they have even admitted that there is no Russian collusion. They waste tax dollars and threaten a presidency with no evidence. They mock the election by the American people, they diminish the nation.

Mueller should take his Bronze Star and go home. If he is a patriot then what he is doing is monstrous. Can he do this at the behest of the DNC? Can he do it out of hatred for Trump? Real estate garbage on Manafort? Is that all you got? A urine drenched dossier fabricated by Russian agents. Has he no shame?

His team is filled with Trump despising, Hillary contributors who have have done some very unethical things in the past. See Sidney Powell’s book “Licensed to Lie” about his prosecutors. You will not look at American justice the same way after reading it.

Ha! It’s kind of a Maxwell Smart style threat from the Compost, considering that Comey, McCabe, Ryabi, Ohr, Strzok, Baker, and Yates have all pretty much bitten the dust. There aren’t too many more than a couple of dozen FBI swamp creatures left. I guess the Post will start to threaten that Trump shouldn’t mess with the pussy hat wearing CIA swamp scum
next.

Re: “Obama obviously won against the FBI, otherwise he would have been investigated and indicted.”

And for those who have forgotten...

Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor investigating Trump, was Barack Obama’s FBI Director for almost five years!

Obama replaced Mueller with James Comey, who directed the FBI for the next four years, including four months under Trump.

Robinson is a perfect example of a black racist wrapped up in a paranoid world. Period.

He is almost impossible to read because of his illiteracy, jumbled thoughts, and lies.

Re Hoover and “sex scandals” information.

Hell, if he had released half of what he is alleged to have had in his files, LBJ, JFK and Clinton (if he were alive then), would never have become presidents.

Then there are the sex scandal files on past and present congressmen and women, and FBI traitors like “Page/Strzok”.

If they were released, I’d say that about 25% of congresspeople would be out of a job. Maxine Waters is safe. No one in their right mind would get anywhere near her so any statements of hers about “sexual harassment” only exist in her mind.

If Hoover had released his files on Congressmen and women (i.e. Bella Abzug, for one, “Little Miss Moscow”) and their Communist Party/Moscow/Cuba connections, the firing squads would still be going on (Conyers, Cranston, Crockett, DeLacy, Marcantonio, the Burton Brothers, Charlie Hays, Dickstein, Coffee, Lundgren, etc).

Eugene. Hopefully, pretty soon, you’ll be eating your words about the “anti-Vietnam movement”. If we think you look and sound stupid right now, which you are, then just wait. There could be a big surprise coming which will make you look and sound like the damned fool that you are.

Remember, fool. There are “files” and “there are files”.

I think a President with Military assets behind him vs FBI/CIA/DOJ (Deep State) I will put my money on Trump and his Patriot backing...

Did I read this correctly? The Country allows the FBI to blackmail, threaten and extort the elected officials we voters select to run this Country?

If that is the case it is time to abolish the FBI. They are not that far above the law.

Airborne commented that when people mess with the feebees that it doesn’t turn out to well for them.
Waco, Ruby Ridge; well I think more people are paying attention now, especially when the threat is directed at the President we elected.
This time around I think it would end badly for the feebees.
A whole lot more pissed off people are watching to see which way this is going to go.
The feds were real aggressive at the Bundy Ranch stand off, UNTIL they found themselves outnumbered and surrounded by a whole lot of pissed off ranchers.
At that point they decided to be a little bit more reasonable.
