Trump attacks Justice Department and FBI: 'I want them to do their jobs'

SSG Warren Swan No, they shouldn't reflect the whims of the POTUS, not the current one nor the previous one, but it's obvious to all, except those with an agenda, that they do. So, why aren't they investigated and prosecuted? Because they are the nation's investigators and prosecutors. Once upon a time, in situations such as this, journalists would expose the corruption but today's journalists are abetting the corruption. Sound paranoid? Sure it does. But sometimes paranoia is a survival skill

CPT Jack Durish you’re making another hard to answer question. It’s not paranoid at all. But at some point the heads of both should come out swinging (not literally), to remove doubts about who they are, and what they’re charged with. GEN O awhile back was being grilled hard by Congress on personnel issues. They struck a nerve when they questioned him about his carrying for troops. Big O laid into them quickly and wasn’t nice about it. That’s maybe what these two should do to an extent. Break away from Twitter or silence and engage the public. You can do that without being disrespectful to the president. I read this morning where Trump said he’d have to get involved with both. That is something neither dept needs from a functional standpoint. It he seriously has to do that, there’s no need for either head being the president is it now.

SSG Warren Swan - At this point, I am thankful that President Trump has Twitter. Inasmuch as the news and entertainment media is hell bent on distorting his messages and hiding the truth, Twitter is one of the few means he has to communicate directly with the public, and it's working. Decent people are slow to anger and they are getting angry. The shenanigans of the Left grow more obvious every day. Only those who are party to or at least cheering for the Left, fail to see it.

CPT Jack Durish It’s blatently obvious to even the most casual observer that the Obama DOJ from the AG throughout the FBI were tainted and should all have been prosecuted. Until that happens we cannot trust any part of the Justice Department!

Ok to a public who is quicker to believe anything bad about someone or something, how can you effectively return fire without loosing credibility or the support of the President? Everyone knows if it's good news it's basically no news. It won't sell or make ratings.

I have no qualms about any president ensuring they run properly, but there’s a difference between running it properly to advance the nation and running it so it advances you or your personal agenda. I wasn’t trying to nail this on Trump being some saw Obama doing the same thing, but for HRC, it was how many separate investigations run over how long, that cost how much? I’m the end, the bombshell that was supposed to have been dropped never came. Same with Benghazi. All were Republican led as if that makes a difference. But to have the heat on you now, and tell folks you want to investigate her again, what’s the point you’re trying to show? Either way it’s going to make congress look weak, or it’ll make you look weak for asking for an additional investigation into something that’s damn near a dead horse. There are bigger fish to fry as President than to use either one as your personal ‘secret police’. America has already gone through that with McCarthy. We don’t need it to equal European levels of old. That’s not us. The FBI/DOJ both need to assert their willingness to work with the president yet establish their independence of him. They can do it without a big ridiculous stir up by just simple interview on perceptions vs reality
