Trump Hits Back at 'Corrupt' FBI Investigation Bombshell: 'No Reason' and 'No Proof'

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump is pushing back on Friday’s bombshell New York Times report that the FBI opened an investigation into whether or not Trump may be working for the Russians in the days after he fired former FBI Director James Comey.




Notably, Trump is not taking aim here at the reporting of the NY Times reporting but instead undermining the institution that oversaw the investigation, or more to the point, the “corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons.”

Investigations do not need proof to begin, however. Reasonable evidence is enough to start an investigation, with “proof” of guilt being only one of many possible outcomes. And as the Times report demonstrates, there were many reasons for the FBI to start an investigation.

According to the Times, FBI officials were so alarmed by Trump’s firing of Comey, and the tacit admission that it was due to the investigation into Russian election interference, that “they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests:

There were numerous incidents that forced them to assure that our nation was not being compromised. That is their job. I doubt that his nitwit followers will appreciate it. They don't believe that when multiple purchases of guns and ammo should warrant concern either. Will we be delivered from this mess before its too late. I really don't know, but I sure hope that Mueller can deliver in time.

Has anyone asked him why he pushed the Putin lie that they invaded to "stop terrorism," as opposed to the truth that it was to prop up a failed communist government?

I mean, the evidence of his treachery with Russia is right out in the open.

Comey total sleaze! (Next tweet)....funny thing about Comey...


I have been FAR tougher on Russia than Obama, Bush or Clinton. Maybe tougher than any other President. At the same time, & as I have often said, getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing

Whack. A. Doodle.

how poor DT continues to be accused of SO MANY corrupt actions when he is soooo innocent of EVERYTHING.

EVERYONE is failing, stupid, guilty, ugly, etc etc and even though nearly every spoke in the "Model T" wheel has either pled guilty or are currently under federal and/or local criminal investigation for various forms of corruption - HE is perfectly innocent of everything.

SMDH - how do his followers reconcile this? It just is so beyond my comprehension how they can continue to believe the lies that accompany nearly every sentence that is uttered by him.
