Jim Jordan’s not-so-subtle message to law enforcers who dare investigate Republicans: “Come after us and you’ll pay a price.” FrankFigliuzzi breaks down the ongoing impacts of Trump’s villainization of the FBI.
alone, the FBI and its partners arrested more than 20,000 violent criminals and child predators — an average of 55 per day, every day. Slashing the agency’s budget, relocating its headquarters far from the crucial sphere of D.C. influence, and launching vengeful attacks against the agents and analysts who keep us safe, would make us less secure and more vulnerable to internal and external threats we face every day.
When I was a young supervisor at FBI headquarters, I had to brief an assistant director on a big case. As I turned to walk out of his office, I noticed a small poster hanging on the back of his door. It read, “America is at peace because the FBI is at war.” Now, it seems like certain elected officials are at war with the FBI.
If you’re looking for the real winners in Wednesday’s attempt to damage the FBI, you’ll need to look far beyond our nation’s borders. Our adversaries, such as the Russian and Chinese intelligence services, would pay almost any price to see this kind of withering attack on America’s FBI. But they don’t have to spend a dime — Jim Jordan and his ilk are doing it for them, for free.
