he's slippery.
but when people start announcing runs for the US president, shouldn't law enforcement take a quick pass at their records/activity and quickly get the word out/begin prosecution on people who are as dirty as this guy?

"Heavily biased" is very different fr 99.5% AND that's just 1 office. He tarred them NATIONWIDE. nt

Yeah, but he wrote as if he really believes it. Is tRump hyperbolic swinging opinion against FBI?

you might, for example, read "99.5%" as an alternative way to say "a very large majority"

I am well aware. But "most" is nowhere near 99.5%. It's a plurality, but not 99.5%.

When D's think FBI over-protects rich guy & R's think it's too little, they must be doing it right.
