Fox contributor floats conspiracy theory that the FBI might have planned to assassinate Donald Trump

Source: Media Matters

JACKSON: Well, I think they're going to say, is it -- what was his intent, right? Because that's exactly what FBI Director, former FBI Director [James] Comey said when he was letting Hillary Clinton off the hook. And his intent, regardless of whether it was an assassination attempt or whatever, it was definitely something --

FAULKNER: Whoa, whoa.

JACKSON: Well, I'm just saying, we don't know what it was. When you say, "we've got to make sure that this guy doesn't get in at all cost," what does that mean? So I'm saying there's a spectrum of what does it mean, but one thing that we know for sure, is that he was plotting in an election against a candidate, and there's FBI fingerprints all over this.

It's exactly the opposite. So, if anything, some on the right are the ones plotting for that.

Things are wound up about as tight as they can be. The far right's stochastic terrorism is going to get more people killed (nazis have already killed one person on the streets of the USA this year), and Fox is one of the primary major outlets of state-sponsored stochastic terrorism/propaganda.

OH DEAR LORD, please make all this horse-shit stop! The stupid! It burns!

I'm going to cover all the bases, just in case something, ANYTHING, might stop this madness.

in a crowded theater. One of their mouth breathing rubes is going to come unhinged and kill someone. It is only a matter of time.

Of course it's a load of crap, but who is he trying to stir up? The right-wing nut cases that watch Faux News, that's who.

This guy would never be able to convince anybody who's actually, you know, sane that Jim Comey was trying to assassinate Trump. We all know for a fact that Comey was doing everything he could to get Trump elected. What a stupid theory and completely dangerous to even suggest it. Doesn't Faux News have any principles at all?

Sometimes things people say come back to haunt them. I would ask this contributor ! What was trumps intent saying that in a speech to the whole country? This was just an e mail to a few people. Same implication if you ask me but trumps was on a much larger scale.

If the FBI had planned to assassinate Donald Trump, he'd be dead now. The FBI doesn't fuck around.

different than what they did back then. They had a ton of people fighting mad about governmental agencies and the Washington Post being even worse than the stuff they're saying now about Mueller and the FBI. It's hard, but we have to be patient. Trump is bound to have a million skeletons.
