webfact Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Trump threatens to 'get involved' unless FBI, Justice Department 'start doing their job' FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump listens to a question during an interview with Reuters in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, U.S. August 20, 2018. REUTERS/Leah Millis/File Photo EVANSVILLE, Ind. (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking to a raucous, campaign-style rally in Indiana, warned on Thursday that the Justice Department and the FBI must "start doing their job and doing it right" or "I will get involved." Trump, who has repeatedly criticised the department over its handling of a probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election campaign, suggested its leadership was biased against Republicans and that "people are angry." "Our Justice Department and our FBI - at the top of each, because inside they have incredible people - but our Justice Department and our FBI have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now," Trump said. "I wanted to stay out, but at some point if it doesn't straighten out properly ... I will get involved and I'll get in there if I have to."

blazes Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If a direct link is found between Trump and anything Russian that proves this vague crime of "collusion" (when are you going to show your hand, Bob old boy?), I will bet that Don Lemon will be the next president of the United States. Oh wait a minute: maybe Pecker will rise to the occasion and reveal the stories that never made it into the National Inquirer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazes Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 To anyone not American, it is truly puzzling how you can prove you are a "patriot" by simply saying the word "Russia" or "Russian" in a snarling tone. One word is enough to close off all conversation. You like dem russkies? you a traitor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He ought to be careful what he wishes for, if they really get going he could end up being a very bad orange in no time. Leave them alone Donald, they don't need the extra chaos, how's NK working out for you, you really got involved there, perhaps another meeting with your good friend Vlady could sort things out.

The centre of attention in your orange jump suit and hand cuffs, and, indeed, you'll have no choice in "getting in there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that, these internet slogan boyz are like high school - as bad as or worse than the source of their daily angst. Another immediate turn off and tune out term for me is "Patriot". And while we're at it, "Hero". ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In March, the FBI charged what it said was an Iranian state-sponsored hacker ring with stealing terabytes of data from US companies, universities, and government agencies. In Austin, Texas, the FBI deployed more than 600 people to assist in the package bombings that killed two people and terrorized locals. So far, 1,305 children were rescued from child predators, some of them as young as 7 months old. More than 4,600 suspected gang members were arrested in the past several months. The FBI's hostage-rescue team deployed about 27 times for missions. https://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-director-chris-wray-doj-report-hillary-clinton-emails-lisa-page-2018-6 Will Trump now threaten to fire his FBI candidate Wray?

stud858 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Trump , certainly not a backing down sort of guy. He continues to try his hardest. I would have stopped long ago and said sort out your own mess fruit cakes. Is it really true that unemployment figures are low in America right now? I heard him go on a rant about that too.

Chomper Higgot Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Perhaps Trump feels he’ still not getting enough attention from the boys and girls at the DoJ and FBI. Calm down Donald, Mueller is on it, and so are the earger SDNY. Trump is about to be involved at the very heart of matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position of the FBI director reports to the attorney general, not to the POTUS. The FBI Director serves the president by leading law enforcement in an independent and apolitical fashion.

Feelings of resentment, particularly towards people with a deeper tan and a deep yearning for the 50's. In short, MAWA. That's why facts don't enter their equation at all.

Blaind hater / there's also blind followers who can't see the forest for the trees. I sometimes wonder if the blind followers still think they are watching a reality show on TV? But perhaps the blind followers think that a president interfering in the work / actions / decisions / focus of various agencies is all OK. Anybody remember watergate and tricky dicky?

riclag Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 No evidence found of collusion or interference by PT or his staff. It's almost time to do what he's been waiting and wanting to do.The moment is near "declassify",and expose the deep state so called "Career Professionals",that instigated a near perfect silent coup,to deter a democratically elected POTUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
