Trump Launched Campaign to Discredit FBI Witnesses

President Trump “pressed senior aides last June to devise and carry out a campaign to discredit senior FBI officials after learning that those specific employees were likely to be witnesses against him as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation,” Foreign Policy reports.

“In testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8, recently fired FBI Director James Comey disclosed that he spoke contemporaneously with other senior bureau officials about potentially improper efforts by the president to curtail the FBI’s investigation of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

It's not working. You don't think the FBI, and even the CIA have plenty of dirt on every congress person they can drop at any time? The only thing you guys actually fear is being exposed on how traitorous you really are. Still gonna happen.

Our allies will drop it, if they don't release how the uncovered it, to the American people. Not all of us are enemies to others.

Released that info to the USA, and then somehow found its way to the local Dutch press.

We have friends counting on us to recover this country. In fact, some of their lives depend on these America acts. If we need to know something, it will get to us.

I listened to Malcolm Nancy, he mentions Estonia is a big player on espionage. Like I said, they will allow us to correct using our criminal justice system but we have pledged security to lots of countries, they need us.
