- 5 years ago
President Trump went after Christopher Wray on Twitter.
President Trump on Sunday directed an attack at FBI Director Christopher Wray, who recently said that he would not call the bureau's monitoring of some Trump 2016 campaign members "spying." Trump's first tweet on the topic was a quote from Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. "'Even Director James Clapper admits that the FBI actions against the Trump Presidential Campaign do in fact meet the definition of spying, perhaps FBI Director Christopher Wray will be the next to do so,'" the tweet read. Trump then turned to the words of Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, writing, with notes of his own: "'Just another abuse of power in a long series of abuses of power by the Democrats that began during the Obama Administration, continued through the Mueller FBI operation, & now the baton has been passed to Jerry Nadler to continue to abuse power to harass President Trump and the Democrat National Committee-The Democrat Party apparatus-has been caught using donor Dollars to Collude with Russian Intelligence to attack a domestic political opponent' (me)." The Fitton quote continues: "'The FBI has no leadership. The Director is protecting the same gang.....that tried to overthrow the President through an illegal coup.' (Recommended by previous DOJ)." An investigation into whether the FBI overstepped in surveilling Trump campaign member Carter Page is currently underway and being conducted by the inspector general of the Justice Department, notes The Hill.
