Discussion: GOP Lawmakers Endorse Trump's Claim Of FBI's Reputation Being 'In Tatters'

Our GOP hate machine and the fake president have spent months trying to shred the reputation of the agency. How dare the agency allow its reputation to be in tatters.

We burned down the house. How dare you allow us to burn down the house.

It’s weird how Republicans think Democrats should only be investigated by partisan Republicans and Republicans can only be investigated by Republican partisans.

Are we supposed to believe that if a Senior FBI agent had written an email that was supportive of Trump and not favorable to Mueller (you know, like all those agents in the NY field office in Guiliani’s pocket) these Republicans would be just fine with Mueller removing them from any role in the investigation due to a conflict?

Someone needs to ask these Republican Congress folks about that.

Shouldn’t we be praising Mueller for having taken the action he did to remove any potential conflict?

I agree, FBI reputation is in tatters thanks to browbeating and co-opting by GOPer Congs. Dem director is long overdue.

Translation:
The FBI will not give in to being Trump’s private police force.

It was a truly vile, disgusting display these Republicans put on - it was like watching Fox News - only worse.

In case you want to see what a real witch hunt looks like, look no further. Goodness only knows what kind of shenanigans Nunes & The Kompromat Boys are up to behind the scenes.

And: ‘FBI reputation is in tatters with Trump toadies

and anyone know what the hell is being alluded to with this ridiculous statement?

Labrador went on to suggest that there would be a double standard at the FBI if former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn was being investigated for violating the Logan Act, but not President Obama.

What ‘whataboutism’ is being served up in the rwconspiracymediasphere ??

Aren’t they the same folks who defend police officers who engage in malfeasance as well as the incompetents Arpaio and faux Blazing Saddles Sheriff Clarke?
The FBI is far more competent and professional than the days of J. Edgar Hoover.

These frickin’ fools are arguing against “politicizing the FBI” while they simultaneously are trying to “politicize the FBI.” Fools, all of them!

Remember when Republicans said they’d protect us from Trump’s worst impulses?

Yep, Exactly.

This too. Some [all reasonable people] take umbrage with the assertion. The FBI’s reputation has been called into question [by those with the moral authority of slime mold].

Republicans, at a House Judiciary Committee hearing

Clown car

Republicans said that recent years and particularly those under former FBI Director James Comey had caused them to reconsider their longstanding admiration for the agency.

Let’s hope that the agency’s longstanding admiration for Republicans is well past the reconsideration stage.

I’d guess that Labrador’s been watching some Alex Jones, but there is a crowded field of contenders who produce disgusting nonsense of this sort. And that is just in the US. There is no reason to think that the Russians have stopped their efforts.
