Former Mueller-appointed FBI bigshot vows ‘ticked’ FBI will get revenge on Trump: ‘We’re going to win’
February 4, 2018 | Samantha Chang
CNN analyst Philip Mudd, a former employee of the embattled FBI, threatened a sitting United States president during an unhinged rant on live TV.
“The FBI people are ticked,” Mudd bellowed on CNN. “If you think you can push us off this because you can intimidate the director, you’d better think again! You’ve been around for 13 months. We’ve been around since 1908.
I know how this game is going to be played! We’re going to win.”
With his shocking on-air threat, Mudd inadvertently confirmed conspiracy theories about the existence of a Deep State cabal trying to overthrow a duly elected president. It’s unclear how good an FBI employee Mudd once was since he’s obviously terrible at keeping secrets.
President Trump echoed the sentiments of millions of Americans after the damning FISA memo was released. The memo suggested that the Obama FBI and CIA were weaponized against the Trump campaign because top agency officials desperately wanted Hillary Clinton to be president.
“The FBI became a tool of anti-Trump political actors,” President Trump tweeted, quoting a Wall Street Journal article. “This is unacceptable in a democracy and ought to alarm anyone who wants the FBI to be a nonpartisan enforcer of the law.”
MY TAKE: This poor guy is obviously suffering from a specific form of PTSD known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, apparently coupled with a heavy dose of delusions of grandeur, as well as a massive dose of stupidity.
CNN boasts in their background post on this nitwit that he’s a CNN counter-terrorism analyst, and that he had a distinguished career in the CIA where he served for some 20 years. In 2005, he was appointed by ROBERT MUELLER as Deputy Director in charge of the newly-formed National Security Branch, and later became the FBI's Senior Intelligence Adviser (Isn’t that a DEMOTION?), before leaving government service in 2010.
Curiously, his educational background is in English literature. I really don’t know how that relates to counter-terrorism analysis, my own educational background being in political science, geography, geology, and criminal justice, plus having been involved in the study of international terrorism and countermeasures since 1973. Oh, well.
In any event, I have a sense that Mr. Mudd may live to regret his unfortunate outburst, sooner rather than later. His name is Mudd anyway.
