The FBI was full of anti-Trump FBI agents it seems. This point further evidenced by the vile views FBI agents had about the Americans who voted for President Trump.
According to Town Hall:
So, the Department of Justice’s inspector general dropped his report today. There were little notable nuggets here and there, but the most damning was a) saying then-FBI Director James Comey’s actions concerning how he handled the Hillary Clinton email probe during the 2016 election were extraordinary and insubordinate. So, there goes the liberal talking point that President Trump axed Comey to obstruct justice; Comey was given his pink slip in May of 2017. The second controversial aspect is the bias assessment. Besides Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, there are clear examples of bias from FBI employees. Comey is no exception either, especially at the outset of his book tour. But what people hang their hat on is the report saying there was no evidence that political bias generated partisan outcomes. That’ll be touched on in a separate post.
The examples of bias have been illustrated with the Strzok-Page, which number in the tens of thousands. The two FBI officials were having an extramarital affair, the texts were explicitly anti-Trump, and we now know Strzok assured Page that they would stop Trump from being president. Keep in mind, again, that Strzok was a top counterintelligence agent, he signed off on the counterintelligence probe into possible Russian collusion in July of 2016, and was part of the Hillary email probe. Once these texts were known, Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed Strzok, who has been reassigned to human resources; Page resigned in May. Yet, in this 500-page report, we have other FBI employees, reacting strongly to Trump’s 2016 win. It’s total shell shock. And some even took it a step further, bashing Trump voters as “poor,” “lazy,” and “pieces of s**t.” you’d think these were transcripts from a meeting among Hillary Clinton’s inner circle (via DOJ/OIG) [p.417] [emphasis mine]:
Well, jobs are being created, three million since Trump was elected. Over three million workers have benefitted from the tax reform package, as over 250 companies have doled out bonuses averaging $1,000. In some cases, $3,000 checks have been handed out. Unemployment is at its lowest in 18 years, small business and consumer confidence are at record highs, black unemployment is at historic lows, and second quarter growth is projected to be between 3.6-4.8 percent. The Department of Labor noted in a press release “for the first time on record, the number of American job openings exceeds the number of job seekers.”
These remarks only reinforce and confirm what we’ve expected from the Left: they hate us. I know these horrible rural folks, who just want to provide for their families, work hard, and live the American dream. They want opportunities. They wanted someone who would spur economic and jobs growth, and someone who would fight back on bad trade deals. At the very least, someone who would bring up the fact that these maybe not the best trade agreements. They wanted job protections. They wanted a cheerleader. Obama was none of that. In 500 days, Trump has kept an awful lot of his promises. Obama had to renege on one immediately upon his 2008 victory, which was shutting down Gitmo.
The liberal elites have always thought this about Republican voters. The problem for them is the new IG report is bringing the sentiments to light. President Trump is winning. Bringing America back to prominence and making liberals lose their minds in the process.
UPDATE: Trump Responds:
My supporters are the smartest, strongest, most hard working and most loyal that we have seen in our countries history. It is a beautiful thing to watch as we win elections and gather support from all over the country. As we get stronger, so does our country. Best numbers ever!
