Attacks FBI's reputation as 'in Tatters — worst in History' after Flynn plea

Two days after Michael Flynn's guilty plea and reports that an FBI agent had been removed from Mueller's team over anti-Trump texts, Trump tweeted that the FBI's reputation, after 'years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation,' was 'in Tatters — worst in History!' He followed with additional tweets highlighting the removed agent. His own FBI director, Christopher Wray — a Trump appointee — publicly rebutted the claim days later in congressional testimony, stating the bureau's reputation was 'quite good.' The episode illustrates a recurring pattern of Trump publicly disparaging federal law enforcement institutions when they touch his own conduct or associates.
