Not to mention Trump calling Comey a grandstander and a showboat. Then the stupid threat about "tapes" in a tweet this morning.Donald Trump has reportedly backed away from a planned visit to FBI headquarters in Washington, amid continued anger from current and former agents over the president’s abrupt firing of director James Comey.

“I think he just slapped the FBI in the face. It was disgraceful, outrageous, disgusting. These [FBI agents] are people who have education, who have experience.
