Don’t look now but the FBI is resisting the political witch-hunt loosed upon it.

    This is really good news. Other departments need to do the same, or else this country doesn’t stand a chance.

    Don’t forget about all those agents around the world who were killed after Trump gave their names to one of our enemies, Russia.

            I get what you are saying, but crime syndicates can exist internationally.

            But yeah, it was probably CIA agents he got killed.

        Don’t quote me on this, but I believe that allied countries and the US have agreements with each other that they can send spies into each others country as long as they’re working within the agreement. Also, I’m sure, they’re probably doing not so good things in other countries with no agreement, so.

            Oh! I see what you mean, yes. FBI is probably more on home turf, while CIA is more broad. My comment was basically a tongue in cheek way of saying these FBI agents need to stand their ground since Trump would have no problem at all getting rid of them if they start to waiver, just like he did the CIA agents his first term.

            I am not good at making my points. :')

      The same thing they did to Hampton and MLK Jr. If Trump were smarter he’d use them for their original purpose instead of whatever dept of assassination he has planned to create.
