The right wonders why the FBI needed an ‘insurance policy’ in case of a Trump victory

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution
Dec 27, 2017

Is President Donald Trump right about the corruption from within the FBI? A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the right:

1. Is the 'Never Trump' media colluding with the FBI?

From Patrick Buchanan: Has the investigation into Russian collusion morphed into a Trump witch hunt? It sure seems like it.

2. 10 times the intel community violated Americans' trust

From The Hill: You should ask yourself what “insurance policy” the FBI needed in the case of Trump’s election, and if you may very well need one yourself.

3. Was the Steele dossier the FBI’s ‘insurance policy’? 

From The National Review: We don’t yet know if Trump colluded with Russians, but we seem to have abundant evidence that the Obama administration colluded with the Clinton campaign.
