President Donald Trump is planning for all political appointees to receive sweeping security clearances through private firms and only face FBI background checks after the incoming team takes over the FBI.
For the past eight years, the FBI, under James Comey and Chris Wray, illegally targeted President Trump, his family, his business, and his associates using a completely fraudulent document, the Russian dossier, as their reason to spy on the US president before and during his first administration.
Chris Wray later raided Trump’s home in Florida on flimsy, politicized reasons and shuffled through his wife’s underwear drawer.
There is absolutely no reason that Trump would trust the corrupt, politicized FBI today or EVER.
Wall Street Mav reported:
The FBI has lost so much credibility that Trump is not even using them for background investigations of his nominees.
Trump and his team are using private companies for background checks. He plans to override the usual process and grant security clearance his first day in office. Then once his own people are running the FBI, he will allow the FBI to do background checks.
The concern is that the current corrupted FBI, controlled by the deep state, will use their investigation process to nuke some of Trump’s nominees.
Until Trump has his own people in the FBI and can bring a stop to the political motivation to attack his nominees, Trump has cut the FBI out of the process.
