 Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA

The FBI investigates any serious security threat and criminal activity it deems worthy of investigation and under its jurisdiction. That includes leftist groups. Unfortunately for Trump, the vast majority of domestic threats is coming from far-right groups. Complaining on Twitter and firing Wray isn't going to change that fact.

yes you are still overreacting. Two stories on this site in one day. it must be desperation time in the election.

This story will change absolutely zero votes.

President loser.

no, a white car can (the Biden supporter) can be seen moving from its center lane into the lane of a black pickup truck, striking it.

At one point, one of the pickup trucks can be seen colliding with an SUV that was driving behind the bus.

This story will change absolutely zero votes.

Which is why Donald XIV tweeted approval of the harassment, and his son Le Dauphin Don Junior encouraged more of it.

the white car was in the lane of the other vehicle, video is there.

the Russian troll farmers, oh, I mean Trump zealots, will be posting soon I imagine... I do not know why the traditionalists of the Republican party Cotten to such types, but wills are weak... it is a shame. The democrats suffer the apologist idiocy... the Republicans have abandoned tradition for corporate and Russian masters... all a shame. Cannot imagine what it is like to wave such banners. The democratic party has become a weak embodiment of democracy and the republicans have become totalitarian commie/christians... ugh.

They can't see reality, asking a Repub what they see is pointless

President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested the FBI should stop investigating an incident in which his supporters were seen surrounding a Biden campaign bus in Texas, which led Democrats to cancel an event there.

Too late for pardons I guess.

The FBI is involved because a Senator was threatened and people don’t take such things lightly in a democracy!!

In videos posted on Twitter, a group of cars and pickup trucks — many adorned with large Trump flags — can be seen riding alongside the campaign bus on Friday, and at times boxing it in, as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin. At one point, one of the pickup trucks can be seen colliding with an SUV that was driving behind the bus.

All these criminals better prepare for long prison sentences.

trump’s not going to have any money to bail them out.

a campaign vehicle? does it have rights?

-22 ( +3 / -25 )

and nothing was done to the "official" vehicle. The vehicle that was hit was the vehicle of a supporter.

That also, as can be seen in the video, was not "travelling behind the bus", the black pickup was directly behind said bus, not the Biden supporter vehicle.

Democrats: Go out and vote.

GOP : Go out and prevent people from voting.

The difference between the parties loud and clear!!

On Sunday night, Trump retweeted a screenshot of the FBI statement, adding: “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!”

That is his opinion, and I agree with it. He did not order the FBI to stop anything, he just has a reasonable opinion. Apparently that is terrible in the eyes of the press.

a campaign vehicle? does it have rights?

The occupants of the campaign vehicle have the right not to be driven off the road by some aggressive a** hole, yes.

16 ( +19 / -3 )

except that their vehicle is in the lane of the supposedly "aggressive" vehicle.

Do you see that white line on the road, thats what its for. The white vehicle is over the line into the lane of the black pickup.

why?

-17 ( +3 / -20 )

and everyone on the left is screaming "the bus, the bus". what happened to the bus? was it struck or impeded in any way?

No, it wasnt.

-20 ( +3 / -23 )

So he will remove people (Wray) that don't agree with him? hhmmm OK so what it the difference between him and say Putin, Xi and any other dictator?

14 ( +17 / -3 )

Does a line exist that he can cross that will cause any of you to say, “this is just too much?”

To his supporters, simple answer, no! Trump could shoot someone in cold blood on national TV and his supporters would claim the person deserved it!

15 ( +18 / -3 )

try a picture then. why is the white car so much more to the right than the car in front of it or behind it?

Oh, I'm sorry. I must have missed the part of the driving test where it explains that if you are driving in the same lane as another vehicle, it acquires the right to run you off the road. Interesting to learn.

Fortunately the FBI neither seeks nor needs Trump’s approval in investigating possible criminal activity.

turns out the local police department says the Biden staff car is most probably at fault for the fender-bender.

Haha, this all ya got, Dems! Thought you guys were gonna win with a Blue Wave or something? What happened to all that cocky bravado that was on display a week ago?

CBS News news now predicting a Trump polling surge that may hold.

Difficult to say with all the misinformation out there, but when one of the big 3 networks is showing signs of honesty....

Trump opposes FBI probe of supporters surrounding Biden bus

Yep sounds about right - here are a few others....

Trump opposes FBI probe of Trump Organization for insurance and bank fraud...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-org-under-investigation-insurance-bank-fraud-filing-suggests-n1235658

Trump opposes FBI probe of Giuliani's unregistered work for a foreign government and illegal campaign contributions....

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/470579-rudy-giuliani-under-investigation-for-campaign-finance-lobbying

And just wait until he's thrown out in two days - he's going to oppose a lot of investigations then....

Won't do any good from keeping him out of Rikers Island though....

maybe so, but so will the Biden evidence that got lost in the mail. lol

the irony of this sentence......

That also, as can be seen in the video, was not "travelling behind the bus", the black pickup was directly behind said bus, not the Biden supporter vehicle.

As can be seen in the video, the black pick-up edged up behind the bus, forcing the white car partly out of its lane. Then it swerved to the left and hit it in the side.

Very dangerous, reckless driving by both vehicles. Neither should have been travelling so close behind the bus. There was also a vehicle moving very slowly right in front of the bus; if that had caused the bus to brake suddenly, there would have been a major pile-up behind.

This is not how free and fair elections are carried out in any self-respecting developed nation with even half a claim to democratic leanings.

MARA Make America Rational Again

To our less ideological more libertarian Trump supporters, is this crap ok?

No, not at all. But rioting, looting, arson, violence, and even murder in the name of racial justice isn’t either - but the FBI can’t be bothered to investigate that. This incident was rather mild.

-10 ( +5 / -15 )

It will be a miracle if Trump and his thugs don’t steal this election

2 ( +6 / -4 )

Of course Trump is against any investigation of thuggery carried out on his behalf. Who can forget what he said about very fine people on both sides when the ku klux clan was on one of those sides? No surprises here.

trump, apparently is building a wall around the WH now, scared of the election results.

That’s one wall he’ll build on time!!!

Well, this is certainly the rant of a mad man. Ridiculous Trump, again and again.

Do you see that white line on the road, thats what its for. The white vehicle is over the line into the lane of the black pickup.

why?''

So you disagree with Trump and think there should be an FBI investigation into the whole incident?

Haha, this all ya got, Dems! Thought you guys were gonna win with a Blue Wave or something? What happened to all that cocky bravado that was on display a week ago?

Pretty much, Democrats and liberals scream bloody murder when there’s so much of a whiff of an incident and call for an FBI investigation and a probe to find out what happened, whereas real crimes on the liberals side they keep saying there’s nothing here no scandal and it just goes to show you how one sided politically and flipped around everything has become. If Trump wins, I hope he gets rid of Wray as soon as possible.

History will not look kindly on this man.

Redefining terrorists as patriots and patriots as terrorists.

Until Antifas and BLM are prosecuted for the burning, the looting, and the actual violence, I think prosecuting the participants of the train would be too much of an obvious double standard.

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

Yup Bass, because nothing says freedom and democracy like firing those who don’t jump to it when ordered to arrest the opposition...

They sure jumped on a bogus 3 year investigation and impeachment, they certainly jumped on that when everyone else knew it was garbage. But yeah, let’s jump for the one side. Lol

-4 ( +4 / -8 )

If this was a Trump campaign bus surrounded by Biden supporters impeding the safe progress of the vehicle (unless laws are different in cow country), what would the Boke republicans be crying???

They'd be screaming for the FBI to hunt down the commie extremists for attempting to derail US Freedom.

Zero Doubt About It.

If you have seen the videos you will know the white car driven by the democrat changed lanes into the path of the black truck so who ran into who?

The Black truck then pushed the white car back into the lane it was travelling in prior to its illegal move.

Seems the white car illegally changed lanes into the black truck, so there fore this article is twisting what actually happened WATCH THE VIDEO !

If Biden gets in America is doomed so is the world.!

Don't listen to the crickets chirping any longer.

No it didnt the white car had moved completely out of the right lane the truck moved up, the white car then tried to move back into the right lane , obviously not paying attention, and found the black truck was now there! That is what happened watch again.

You cant simply twist what happened on multiple video's to suit your opinion, watch again try another video angle.

The US was in a lot better shape 4 years ago. How can anyone think present day America is better than four years ago? Of course Trump and his supporters blame everything on the Dems completely ignoring the fact that they’ve had four years to drive the country into a ditch.

If you have seen the videos you will know the white car driven by the democrat changed lanes into the path of the black truck so who ran into who?

In the video I saw both the black pick-up and the white car were way too close to the back end of the bus. They were both driving recklessly.

The Black truck then pushed the white car back into the lane it was travelling

'Pushed' is a euphemism. The pickup swerved into the side of the white car and hit it. Absolutely irresponsible and worthy of a license suspension.
