Trump, Russian trolls, and Fox ganging up on the FBI ..isn't that aiding and abetting the enemy?

On one side you have Trump, Kremlin internet trolls and conspiracy nuts on Fox news helping each other and retweeting each other----on the other hand, you have the professionals at the FBI , tracking and catching foreign and domestic criminal actors.

The former group is actively attacking and lying about what the FBI is doing-----the latter is just doing its job and letting the facts take it to wherever they may.

The FBI is an extremely professional law enforcement organization and never starts an investigation of anyone on flimsy causes. It needs a professionally vetted probable cause that shows that a crime has been committed before opening an investigation. Once it opens an investigation though, it will follow the facts to wherever they take it, no matter what outsiders or professional spinners, like Fox, say about it. It is a "just the facts, m'aam", type of organization, and if one is innocent, he/she need not fear the FBI.

It is curious that the gangs at Fox News and Trump are on the side of the Kremlin in attacking and trying to discredit the FBI, the most respected law enforcement organization around the world.

Someone must have done something illegal and the FBI , through Mueller's leadership, is closing in on the criminals. Thus, the continuous, almost daily, attacks by Trump and his Fox friends, on the professionals of the FBI.

There is no rule of law anymore, so of course they're going to proudly attack our institutions to benefit Russia.

Since Rethugs wore out the "why do they hate America" meme back in the reign of W, I think it's about time we slap that back at them.
