FBI group defends agents amid Trump's attacks
A group representing thousands of current and former FBI agents shared a defense of bureau employees on Saturday amid renewed criticism of the FBI from President Trump and others.
“As we have said, Attacks on our character and demeaning comments about the FBI will not deter Agents from continuing to do what we have always done—dedicate our lives to protecting the American people,” the FBI Agents Association tweeted Saturday morning.

The FBI agents group issued the tweet after Trump went after the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI at a campaign rally in Missouri on Friday evening, vowing to get rid of the "stench" at the department.
“Look what's being exposed at the Department of Justice and the FBI. You have some real bad ones. You see what's happening at the FBI — they’re all gone, they’re all gone,” he said.
"But there’s a lingering stench and we’re going to get rid of that too," Trump added.

The lingering stench is you fuck face. Resign.
