The FBI Agents Association blasted Donald Trump for attacking the credibility of FBI agents as part of his efforts to discredit the Russia investigation.

Trump tweeted:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Tainted (no, very dishonest?) FBI “agent’s role in Clinton probe under review.” Led Clinton Email probe. @foxandfriends Clinton money going to wife of another FBI agent in charge.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Report: “ANTI-TRUMP FBI AGENT LED CLINTON EMAIL PROBE” Now it all starts to make sense!

The FBI Agents Association delivered a forceful rebuke of the President:

FBI Agents Assoc. @FBIAgentsAssoc
(2/3) “Every day, FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line to protect the American public from national security and criminal threats. Agents perform these duties with unwavering integrity and professionalism and a focus on complying with the law and the Constitution.”

FBI Agents Assoc. @FBIAgentsAssoc
(3/3) ”This is why the FBI continues to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world. FBI Agents are dedicated to their mission; suggesting otherwise is simply false.”

It is never a smart idea to antagonize the people who are investigating you and your family for potential crimes, but no one, besides Trump, has ever said that the President is intelligent. All Trump accomplishes when he tries to discredit the FBI is inspiring the agents to work harder. Trump’s attacks are a classic clue that investigators are getting close. Any other president trying to discredit the FBI would be front page news, but Trump’s attacks on those who are investigating him aren’t even the third biggest Trump-related story of the weekend.

The professionals at the FBI will do their jobs, and there is not a Trump tweet can do to stop them.
