Report: FBI Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Working for the Russians
12th January 2019
Paul Mirengoff at Powreline unpacks the news.
The New York Times reports that “in the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” The Times cites “former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.” They say the FBI investigation ended when Robert Mueller was appointed. If this specific charge remained under investigation, Mueller did the investigating.
If it’s true that the FBI undertook the investigation described by the Times, this tells us plenty about the FBI. It tells us nothing about Trump.
Whenever any of the DemLegHump Media say ‘according to anonymous sources familiar with the matter’, they’re just making it up.
