Trump: Top leader of FBI and justice dept are in favour of opposition

On Friday, Trump has accused his own country's department of justice and FBI of having politicised the sacred investigative process and harbouring an anti-Republican party bias. The interesting thing to note here is all the top leaders being accused by Trump, were appointed by him.

Both the department of justice and the FBI have publicly opposed the release of a classified memo put together by a congressional committee that reportedly argued the Russia probe was launched against a Trump campaign operative using questionable methods and evidence.

Trump, however, wants it released: discrediting the Russia probe will help him deal with an issue that has dogged his presidency from the start, and which he has called a "witch-hunt".

On Friday, the president lashed out in a tweet: "The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the justice department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people!"
