Congress will protect Mueller. They are prepared to burn the DOJ and FBI down in order to protect the pResident. I disagree that the GOPers hate tRump. They have his back at every turn, they are in cahoots with him and have probably been promised all kinds of things to do so.

Or some juicy leaking from the FBI tonight? Like how Nunes was involved in the "russher thing"? Wasn't Nunes in the meeting where Flynn was trying to kidnap the Turkish guy??

These idiots seem to be playing with fire and I hope they get seriously burned.

Serving as one whether that was the intention of whoever leaked it. Not nearly enough outrage over it.
Scary!

Bowdich worked under then FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Mueller is the one who promoted him.

Here's Bowdich's bio..Trump's gloating is short lived.
Wray was ready with McCabe's replacement.

David L. Bowdich
Associate Deputy Director

In April 2016, David Bowdich assumed the position of associate deputy director of the FBI.
In this role, he oversees the management of all FBI personnel, budget, administration, and infrastructure.

Prior to this appointment, he served as assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office from December 2014 to April 2016.

From September 2012 to December 2014, Mr. Bowdich served as the special agent in charge of the Counterterrorism Division in the Los Angeles Field Office.

In that role, he led the Joint Terrorism Task Force, which was responsible for all international and domestic terrorism investigations in the Los Angeles region, surrounding counties, and the extraterritorial region of Southeast Asia.

Additionally, Mr. Bowdich was responsible for all crisis management and response assets, which included the SWAT Team, Evidence Response Team, Hazardous Evidence Response Team, Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team, Rapid Deployment Team, Crisis Management Team, and special agent bomb technicians.

Mr. Bowdich began his career as an FBI special agent in 1995 in the San Diego Field Office, where he investigated violent crimes and gangs and served as a SWAT Team operator and sniper. In 2003, Mr. Bowdich was promoted to FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he served in the Criminal Investigative Division for one year and the Director's Office for one year.

Mr. Bowdich returned to San Diego and supervised a multiagency gang task force for almost four years before being promoted in place to serve as the assistant special agent in charge over all non-white-collar crime criminal violations, the Imperial County Resident Agency, the SWAT Team, and the Evidence Response Team.

Wray - 1
Trump - big fat loser - 0

Trump thought Nunes memo calling out McCabe would get rid of McCabe & Repubs would seat one of their own to get to Mueller.

Its still goung to be a bitter fight that further divides the country.

But trust that Mueller has prepared for this day.

Time to call their bluff.
We know Mueller holds a Royal Flush.

I believe Nunes is bluffing. He's been sitting there for sometime spouting off a lot of noise & threats.

Bet he's holding a pair of 3's.
That mouthy cheatin little shit is going to prison.

Perhaps we've finally reached that day where Trump is brought down & its finally over.

I honestly think that we will all weep when its over.
Then we'll cheer!
