Trump Accuses FBI Agent of ‘Treason’ — Psst: Not Agent; Should Be Plural ‘Agents!’
President Donald Trump said Thursday that one of the FBI’s own, Peter Strzok, is guilty of treason for sending out messages to his girlfriend that pretty much condemned the Republican leader for collusion.
But thing is: It’d be more truthful to call out “agents” — the plural — rather than “agent,” the singular.
Trump apparently made the remarks during an interview with the Wall Street Journal:
President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump, unprompted, labeled as “treason” a text message written by Peter Strzok, an agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who was removed in July as a top investigator on the special counsel’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with associates…
The rest of the story is behind a paywall.
But it’s been widely reported elsewhere. Here’s an exccerpt from The Washington Times:
President Trump said in an interview Thursday that an FBI agent in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason” by texting his lover an anti-Trump message, and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.Mr. Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who was a top investigator on the special counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election, committed treason with his text suggesting an “insurance policy” against a Trump victory.“A man is tweeting to his lover that if [Democrat Hillary Clinton ] loses, we’ll essentially do the insurance policy. We’ll go to phase two and we’ll get this guy out of office,” said Mr. Trump. “This is the FBI we’re talking about—that is treason. That is a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act.”Aitan Goelman, an attorney for Mr. Strzok, told the Journal: “It is beyond reckless for the president of the United States to accuse Pete Strzok, a man who has devoted his entire adult life to defending this country, of treason. It should surprise no one that the president has both the facts and the law wrong.”In an August 2016 text, Mr. Strzok wrote to a woman with whom he was having an affair: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration…that there’s no way he gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

My comments: It is Obvious now that the FBI is a Corrupt organization. Not just Strzok but the entire Hierarchy, including Comey and McCabe. The Department of Justice is also Corrupt as it oversees the FBI. This must change or the Republic will fall.
