Coulters call to shut down the bureau comes amid President Trumps frequent criticisms of federal law enforcement, which has included assertions of extreme political bias.

Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election! Where is theDNCServer, and why didnt Shady James Comey and the now disgracedFBIagents take and closely examine it? Why isnt Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption! Trumptweetedlast month.

Abolish ICE? Ann Coulter Wants To Disband The FBI

9:57 PM 07/18/2018

garth kant | Contributor

Ann Coulter is calling for the abolition of the FBI.

While many on the left have called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the conservative columnist and bestselling author asserted it was the nations top law enforcement agency that is beyond repair.

Its time to disband the FBI. This is not J. Edgar Hoovers FBI, which was so good that liberals are still hysterical over it, Coultersaid Tuesday on Howie Carrs syndicated radio show.

My father was in the bureau for a few years after law school, she noted. You not only had to be a lawyer back then in order to be an FBI agent It wasnt strictly policy but J. Edgar Hoover, and, of course they were all men, generally preferred Catholics and Mormons on the grounds that were incorruptible. They were very, very honest and you could trust them.

And you didnt really have a lot of trouble under Hoover. We were actually having an enemy in Russia then, she added.

Im pretty sure Strzok is a Catholic, supposedly, but theyre not making Catholics like Pat OBrien anymore, Carr said.

He was referring to the affair between FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page, who are married to other people and who were both on the special counsels Russia investigation.

They were dismissed from the investigation after their anti-Trump texts became public, including ones in which Strzok called the president a disaster, abysmal, and an idiot. He also assured Page before the 2016 election that Trump would never become president, texting, No. No he wont. Well stop it.

Strzok insistedduring testimony before Congress last week, I did not think that bias was expressed in those text messages.

However, after Page met with lawmakers behind closed doors for a second time, Rep. John Ratcliff, R-Texas, told reporterson Monday, In many cases, she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say, as opposed to Agent Strzok, who thinks that weve all misinterpreted his own words on any text message that might be negative.

During Tuesdays radio interview, Carr asked Coulter if FBI agents shouldnt be discouraged from acts that could expose them to blackmail, Like having an affair with a co-worker?

Oh my gosh, J. Edgar Hoover never would have allowed that. Never, never, never, she replied, then laughed loud and long.

Coulter was promoting her new book which she said is called Resistance is Futile: How The Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind, and will be released on Aug. 21.

Ann Coulter: ‘Of Course’ the Left Is ‘Using Children’ to …

In an interview with talk radio host Howie Carr, Coulter said, of course media pundits, the open borders lobby, and Democrats are using President Donald Trumps zero tolerance policy at the border as a way to gain support for their preferred mass immigration and cheap labor economic model.

Coulter said:

Who cares if this started under Trump or Obama. What the Lefts argument is: Trump is a liar, therefore we get to wreck your country. No, no these are fake phony frauds. This is a political movement to bring people in. Of course theyre using children. Of course theyre having children weeping and crying. What are we going to do, take in all of Latin America? And by the way, these are the people who say that America itself, Oh, were a hateful country, were misogynist and the rape culture, and were so racist, racist, racist. Theyre always telling us how racist Americans are. Why would you want to bring people into a country thats such a horrible place? [Emphasis added]

During a White House press briefing on Monday evening, a reporter from the establishment media advocated for a border policy that halted all detention of border crossers until the Republican-controlled Congress closed the legal loophole that prevents child border crossers from being detained with their parents, or the adults accompanying them, until they are deported.

Such a policy would result in an open border and likely a surge of illegal immigration and asylum claims, though, the southern border has already been inundated with asylum requests and illegal immigration.

The policy to prosecute all illegal border crossers, including illegal alien adults who cross the border with children, results in border-crossing parents having their children taken into federal custody. This is a loophole known as theFlores SettlementAgreement.

Child border crossers, asBreitbart News reported, actually have a higher standard of living than the 13 million American children who are living in poverty.

Ann Coulter Claims Detention Camp Kids Are Actors Pulling …

6/19/2018 11:26 AM PDT

EXCLUSIVE

Ann Coulter's spewing a wild new theory about kids in detention camps ... claiming the kids are all part of a huge "political stunt" designed to destroy America.

Coulter was out in NYC Tuesday when we asked her if she's seen the latest pictures of kids being held in cages while their parents are criminally prosecuted under the Trump administration's strict new policies.

Coulter's adamant the kids are actors ... though she offers ZERO proof. In the past she's claimed a New Yorker article backs her "actors" theory, but we, and others, have dug for such an article -- to no avail.

We reminded her Laura Bushand several other former First Ladies have called the camps inhumane while speaking out against Trump's policy. Well, Coulter even gave them a piece of her mind, too.

There's no denying, Coulter's fired up here -- but ya might wanna take it with a grain of salt.

Actually, grab the whole shaker.

Ann Coulter Claims Detention Camp Kids Are Actors Pulling ...

Ann Coulter to Trump: Migrant children are child actors …

In the flourishing world of baseless conspiracy theories, this one, part hoax, part smear, has been having its moment.

The idea that people whose experiences speak to some of the consequences of government policies are not to be taken at face value, and are actually crisis actors workingfor a nefarious purpose, has taken on particular prominence in the wake of mass shootings,such as those in Newtown, Conn., and Parkland, Fla.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Sunday became the latest figure to spreada similar claim, as a guest on a Fox News show, when she charged that some of the migrant children who have been photographed in varying stages of distresswere child actors, in a bit of messaging she directed at President Trump.

These child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24/7 right now; do not fall for it, Mr. President, she said, staring directly into the camera.I get very nervous about the president getting his news from TV.

The separation of children from their parents, a result of a new hard-line immigration enforcement practicerolled out by the Trump administration in recent months, has become a lightning rod political issue, an emotional wedge that has cut across partisan lines in the midst of the national debate about immigration. Supporters of the president have defended the practice, blaming parents for bringing their children across the border and arguing that the children are well cared for once they are takenaway. The president has blamed Democrats, though the practice is a result of changes made by his appointees.

Though many Trump supporters have defended the practice, until now no high-profile figures had questioned the authenticity of thechildrens experiences.

Instead, more information about the separations 2,300children have been taken from their parents since the beginning of May, around the time the new zero tolerance policy was rolled out has trickled out in recent days, in the form of reporters visits to the detention centers where the children are held, pictures and even leaked audio. A photograph by Getty Images John Moore of a 2-year-old crying as her mother was patted down by a border agent before the two were separated ricocheted around the media-sphere over the weekend, becoming a stand-in for what some see as the abject cruelty of the new practice.

[I wanted to stop her crying: The image of a migrant child that broke a photographers heart]

Moore, who has been photographing the border for 10 years after stints covering war zones overseas, told The Washington Postabout how he took the photo, after watching a group of migrants cross the border in boats before being apprehended by agents.

Coulters remarks went unquestioned by Fox News host Steve Hilton, on whose show she appeared. He did try to move the conversation forward as a break in the show approached.

I dont know if thats he said, trailing off as Coulter continued. I told you we wouldnt get a word in, he said to the two other guests, Republican former congressman Jason E. Chaffetz and Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.

But Coulter continued.

These kids are being coached, she said. Theyre given scripts to read by liberals. ... Dont fall for the actor children.

She said her information came from New Yorker magazine, though it was not immediately clear which report she was referring to.

Over a series of emails with The Post, Coulterdid not provide evidence for her claim.

If they were genuine asylees, theyd have stopped in Mexico, she said. Theyd go to Guatemala or Colombia. No, theyre being marched to the U.S. as a political weapon.

In a statement provided by a Fox News spokeswoman, Hilton said: I do not endorse her comments or anything else said by anyone other than myself.
