Trump opposed by corrupt FBI

I take issue with the Dec. 6 Dispatch editorial “Donald Trump’s dicey demagoguery.” The president doesn't need to undermine the public's faith in the FBI. The leadership in that agency has shown itself to be corrupted with hyperpartisanship. Former FBI director James Comey leaked classified information and will never be held accountable for his felonies.

Robert Mueller was director of the FBI in 2010 when 20 percent of our uranium was sold to the Russians. It is unclear whether his oversight was lacking due to incompetence or corruption. As special investigator of the Russian-collusion investigation he has stacked his staff with nothing but strongly partisan antiTrump Democrats.

He hired FBI agent Peter Strzok, whose emails show him to be virulently antiTrump and pro-Hillary Clinton. Strzok was also responsible for the phony interview with Hillary Clinton on the email scandal. Strzok was responsible for changing the result of the investigation from "grossly negligent," which is a felony to "extremely careless," which is not a felony. And why was he chosen from thousands of agents to interview Gen. Michael Flynn?

The CIA obtained a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign using the discredited Russian dossier as evidence. President Obama ordered that the intelligence obtained from the spying be shared among 17 agencies. Security adviser Susan Rice and UN ambassador Samantha Powers unmasked the Trump employees. These ruthless violations of the Fourth Amendment make Richard Nixon's vagaries seem like child's play.

Mueller's team hasn't found the slightest hint of collusion by the Trump campaign, but uncovered felonies committed by anti-Trump politicians. Money changed hands between the Clinton campaign and Russians with regard to the dossier.

The author of the editorial cavalierly tossed around accusations of lying by the president but failed to identify even one example.
