It is no secret that the FBI is in need of a major reboot.
After everything that has come out over spying on the Trump campaign and an outright attempt
to prevent Trump from becoming president and stay president, you can imagine that Trump
is on the hunt for corrupt officials there.
More and more is coming to light every day and it is not pretty.
President Trump sees purging the FBI of biased top officials as part of his 'crowning achievement'…
his legacy as a president.
And he said so in an interview with The Hill.TV's John Solomon.
"I think that I hope to be able to put this up as one of my crowning achievements,"
he told The Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and John Solomon, describing his efforts as "a great
service to the country."
You can bet that statement set the entire swamp on fire.
Good times.
Trump noted support from the American people on cleaning house in the FBI.
The politically motivated attacks from within the FBI have enraged much of America.
"We have tremendous support by the way, to expose something that is truly a cancer
in our country," he said.
After Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, the administration forced out Deputy Director
Andrew McCable, FBI agent Peter Strzok, and downgraded Department of Justice employee
Bruce Ohr.
More than 25 FBI and DOJ officials have either been fired, demoted, or resigned since Trump
took office.
"The president also wondered why the FBI failed to warn him that one of his low-level
advisors might have been compromised by the Russians.
"If they thought there was something with Russia … they should have come to me,"
Trump said, asserting that he would have removed that person from his campaign.
He was frustrated that reporters in the news media failed to examine key details of the
story.
"Even the other side knows how wrong this whole thing is.
They just can not write it," he said.
"At some point I really believe they will.
You know there's Pulitzer Prizes here.
Big ones.'"
I believe this whole FBI and Russia collusion mess will go down as one of the most corrupt
incidents in the history of the United States.
Trump is right to clean out the FBI.
My only contention is he should do it wholesale.
Subject everyone to intense background checks and severe vetting.
Keep the ones that pass muster and get rid of the rest.
And periodically, subject agents to extensive interviews to find out if they are still clean.
Here is part of the interview from The Hill.TV: "President Trump: I think that I hope to
be able to put this up as one of my crowning achievements that I was able to do through
the help of a lot of good people including you two, and all of the support we have.
We have tremendous support by the way, to expose something that is truly a cancer in
our country.
When you look at the FBI, you know you have eight people or so fired now.
"And what we have done is a great service to the country, really.
You know, I hope, I hope to be able to call this one of, along with tax cuts and regulations,
and all of the things I've done.
You know you have been seeing, you probably saw the news conference I just did.
"John Solomon: We did.
President Trump: We are making great trade deals.
In its own way, this might be the most important thing because this was corrupt.
When you look at Bruce Ohr, whose wife was getting paid by people that did a totally
phony deal.
And they got a tremendous amount of money, the money.
"I mean the millions of dollars.
And how about [George] Papadopoulos who I did not know other than I sat with him for
15 minutes at a table, unfortunately, where they have a picture of this.
I never even talked to the guy.
I did not know who he was.
And I did not know, one thing I will say about Carter Page.
He never went around saying he knew me.
He never went around saying the president is my best friend.
They put him on some committee.
Some person put him on some committee.
They were both on the same committee.
"And that was not a good committee for me, OK.
(laughter) But they put him on the same committee and that was it.
But he never went around talking about the president is my best friend.
From day one he said, I never met the president.
I did not know the president, but I was put on his committee.
And I say that.
"Buck Sexton: How much time has this taken up of your presidency by the way?
The whole Russia thing.
"President Trump: It takes a lot.
Because if I do not do it you know bad things can happen.
I will give you one thing and Papadopoulos.
I did not know him at all but once he, once he went public and I watched him, he was treated
really badly.
The guy with the tape recorder who got paid money.
