AP — The director of the FBI had strong words Wednesday for supporters of former US president Donald Trump who have been using violent rhetoric in the wake of his agency’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

Christopher Wray, who was appointed as the agency’s director in 2017 by Trump, called threats circulating online against federal agents and the Justice Department “deplorable and dangerous.”

“I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”

Wray made the remarks following a news conference during a long-planned visit to the agency’s field office in Omaha, Nebraska, where he discussed the FBI’s focus on cybersecurity.

He declined to answer questions about the hours-long search Monday by FBI agents of Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida resort.

The Justice Department has been investigating the potential mishandling of classified information since the National Archives and Records Administration said it had received from Mar-a-Lago 15 boxes of White House records, including documents containing classified information, earlier this year.

Deplorable and dangerous? How about those who have seized control of our government and are weapon using it against us? BTW, Mr. Wray, if you want to see "dangerous and deplorable, look in the mirror.

Strange how he never denounced the vast supply of violence on the left.

Like the others, God has now turned him over to delusion. So often, he has such a smug look on his face.
