Trump: IG report wrong, 'scum on top' at FBI
The Hill, Jun 15, 2018, Max Greenwood

President Trump on Friday declared that the conclusion of a report by the Justice Department's internal watchdog was “wrong,” insisting that it showed that top FBI officials acted with political bias against him.

“The end result was wrong. I mean, there was total bias,” Trump said in an interview from the White House lawn with “Fox & Friends,” pointing to text messages from FBI official Peter Strzok disclosed in the report.

The report by the Justice Department's inspector general “was a horror show,” Trump said, and its conclusion “was ridiculous.”

The president had sought to distance himself from the FBI under Comey, and said that he would win a poll of the “real FBI” — “not the scum on top.”

“If you took a poll at the FBI, [I would win],” Trump said. “I mean the real FBI, not the scum on top.”

Where was the followup question, asking him to name names?

This is a great comment for his base, but nothing more.
