There's a point where I wonder if FOX has crossed the line by spinning all of these conspiracy theories and may be seditious.

I was around for Watergate and this is starting to stink with the same stench.

" are attacking the chief law enforcement agency that this country has....."

This the way the libs usually work.

If 1 repub says or does something all we hear is "repubs did or repubs said, painting ENTIRE repub population of being guilty.

They ALWAYS use as wide a brush as they can.

So. lets' talk the TRUTH.

Trump is NOT "attacking the chief law enforcement agency" to infer he is attacking the ENTIRE agency and every single one of its employees.

He IS going after those few employees who HAVE BEEN PROVEN to have a bias against him.

Are YOU claiming every single employee of the "chief law enforcement agency" CANNOT have some bad people in it?

Don't forget the IRS and Louis Lerner.

Was the ENTIRE IRS employee roster involved? NO. Just a few people.

Hillary RAN the State Dept. Did EVERY SINGLE person who worked at the State Dept use a private server and had classified material on them?

Hell, even Fox news was analyzing this last night with a panel (forget about that idiot Hannity).

I like to toggle between all the different "biased news" stations for entertainment just see how it's being spun. MSNBC and Fox were both pretty on par with their panels about Trump's request to fire Mueller. Fox wasn't even trying to spin it...at all.

The rwnj bubble continues to expand, as Trumplings keep up their best ostrich imitations in their vain attempts to justify their continued blind support.

Just because they refuse to look doesn't mean that disaster isn't approaching.

Very amusing.

Seriously? Yes, let's talk about truth. How many times has Trump gone after intelligence agencies?

Just for clarity, is it a "RULE" or is it a "LAW"

Who wrote that "rule"?

Rules are changed by agencies all the time.

As the chief EXECUTIVE OFFICER of the federal government the President has the FINAL authority on ALL "rules".

He can even grant pardons to people CONVICTED in a court of law.

He has LOT of power.

The President can even override LAWS by issuing Executive Orders and Memorandums, AKA Obama.

I have read opinions from both side of the issue an to me it is NOT settled.

The bottom line is is actually a nothing story because Trump did NOT attempt to fire him.

It is being question IF he actually said what is being "reported by unnamed sources"

So many "stories" are things trump has said and are beoing taken ot of context.

When 90 PERCENT of stories about Trump from ABC, CBS and NBC are NEGATIVE about Trump, anyone with an ounce of common sense can see the outright bias.

And we know how many of these types o storied have later been found to be outright lies. Retractions are printed and people have been fired over them.

The LSM does NOT have good reputation on what it say about Trump.

Remember his FIRST day in office and CNN (I believe) was ALL OVER the story about Trump removing the bust of MLK(which he had ever right to do so if he wished) and come to find out the IDIOT "reporter" could NOT see behind the door and because of his hatred for Trump ASSUMED Trump had removed the bust and made a big deal about it.

All one has to do is look at who wrote these "articles".

He was talking about SPECIFIC people NOT the entire employee base and has beeen very CLEAR on this.

Unfortunately people like you ONLY read the NY Times and the Wash post etc, an DON'T get "the rest of the story".

I think you were one of the ones criticizing Obama as a dictator and having too much power but here you are now defending Trump firing the FBI director and attempted firing of a special prosecutor investigating his campaign.

BS. He has attacked the totality of ALL intelligence agencies, on numerous occasions, since before he became POTUS.

Good grief. Trump was even trashing the free press and the U.S. intelligence services in Poland last summer.

The argument that he is only trashing a few select people is a lie.
