Brooke Simpson-Trump, Defending Himself After Flynn Guilty Plea, Says F.B.I. Is in "Tatters"


Trump, Defending Himself After Flynn Guilty Plea, Says F.B.I. Is in ‘Tatters’


President Trump is angry at the F.B.I. and is defending himself against the guilty plea of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.  He said that the F.B.I.’s reputation was “in tatters-worst in history” and denied that he had told Comey to the end the Flynn investigation.  Former F.B.I. director James Comey testified before Congress saying that Trump asked Comey to drop the Flynn inquiry after Trump fired Flynn, but Comey refused to, so Trump fired him a couple months later.  On 6:15 this morning, Trump tweeted that Comey was a liar and that he was spreading more “fake news”. The tweet is following Flynn’s pleading guilty to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador.  Trump has accused the F.B.I. of having a bias against him, and only performing a “phony and dishonest” investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.  He also accused the F.B.I. of having the worst reputation in history because of Comey.  The President has tried to get the attention off of Flynn and onto Clinton by attacking the Justice Department about Hillary Clinton’s emails again.  Early this morning Trump tweeted that one of the top investigators on the Russia inquiry, Peter Strzok, has a bias against him, and another tweet that urged Christopher A. Wray, the current F.B.I. Director to “clean house” because of Strzok.  Brian Ross of ABC News was suspended after reporting about what Flynn would testify, which led to a drop in the stock market, so Trump tweeted about that too. 


The article was written by Michael D. Shear on December 3, 2017, for the New York Times.  All of the information in the article is very recent, tweets from the President were sent out around 6:30 this morning.  The article was written for all Americans because every American should be kept to date and aware of what the President is doing, it doesn’t matter what President it is.  The article seems to be a little biased against Trump, but it could just be the way I read it.  The article was written to explain the tweets that Trump sent out this morning, why he sent them and what they mean.  The article is important because our president is having to defend himself against the F.B.I.  and other news agencies, which I don’t think is something that should be happening.  The man or woman running our country should have clear intentions, and stick to them, but that doesn’t seem to happen in politics very often.  The way this relates to history is during the Civil War Abraham Lincoln kept having to defend himself to the people of the North of what was going on in the war, and that he was doing everything that he could to bring the Union back together.

  1. It’s irritating how Trump can’t focus on the topic at hand, instead he continues attacking Hilary Clinton for her past. He should get off of Twitter and actually handle business.

  2. it's hilarious how Trump will defend himself even though he's lying. What's even funnier is the fact that when Trump starts to be scrutinized, he'll bring up Hillary's emails as if they are his saving grace.
