President Trump tweeted this evening that the nation is "disgusted with the FBI. We have a crisis of confidence in the number one law enforcement agency in this country (thanks Comey!)." Well, that sounds about right. But note one thing--Trump doesn't blame AG Barr for this unhappy state of affairs. On the other hand, of course, neither does he blame himself. He seems to blame James Comey and, by implication, the president who appointed Comey--Obama. As for Chris Wray--the FBI Director that Trump himself appointed, well before Barr became AG--well, it seems that Trump's policy at this point amounts to: the less said the better (image courtesy of CTH):
