President Trump, in an apparent veiled reference to the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein story, told a rally of the FBI and the Justice Department, “there’s a lingering stench and we’re going to get rid of that, too.”
In Springfield, Missouri, while talking about the “swamp” of Washington, DC, he said, “Just look at what is now being exposed in our Department of Justice and the FBI look at what’s going on. Look at what’s going on.”
He continued, “I wanna tell you, we have great people in the Department of Justice, we have great people. These are people, I really believe, you take a poll, I gotta be at 95%. But we had some real bad ones – you see what’s happened at the FBI, they’re all gone, they’re all gone, they’re all gone. But there’s a lingering stench and we’re going to get rid of that, too.”
