Text messages disclosed in the bombshell inspector general report released Thursday do not paint a pretty picture of the FBI.
Not only did the highly anticipated report from the Justice Department’s internal watchdog reveal the political bias of FBI agent Peter Strzok in text messages with his lover, lawyer Lisa Page, but text messages by other FBI employees showed an eye-popping display of disdain toward President Trump’s supporters.
FBI agents literally using “drumpf” in texts. lol https://t.co/YsaJE4ujFo

Political biases never “directly affected” the investigative actions reviewed in the report, apparently.
“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” according to the report’s conclusion.
But the comments in the eyebrow-raising texts speak for themselves, as Trump voters are referred to as “retarded” and condemned as being “poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS.”

The report revealed other messages like those by an FBI attorney who worked on Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as well as those by Strzok.

President Trump reacted to the IG report early Friday, calling it a “total disaster” for fired FBI chief James Comey.
The IG Report is a total disaster for Comey, his minions and sadly, the FBI. Comey will now officially go down as the worst leader, by far, in the history of the FBI. I did a great service to the people in firing him. Good Instincts. Christopher Wray will bring it proudly back!

The substance of the revealed text messages shook up many Twitter users who were shocked to see the next level of Hillary Clinton’s “Basket of Deplorables” mockery.

If the FBI feels this way about us, how are we supposed to trust them to help and protect us?

I’m middle class, but I’m not a lazy POS. Yes I did vote for #Trump and would do it again in a ?.

Its almost like being “grossly negligent” but only being proven “extremely careless”

Wow. If you didn’t see the letters FBI in the text, you’d have thought it could be a foreign govt trying to undermine our election. Maybe Mueller should change course and clean house at the FBI.

The dedicated agents should really be upset for the shame these agents have brought to the agency. I have always highly regarded the FBI . Foreign governments must be laughing. I am dumbfounded.
