Later, Komi removed the post and claimed that it was unclear, many, including Trump, said the meaning was obvious.
“He knew exactly what that means. The baby knows what it means,” Trump said on Fox News on Friday. “If you are a FBI director and you don’t know what it means This meant “murder” And it says loudly and clearly. “
Komi suggested the following statement on the Internet, saying that “did not understand that some people were linked by these numbers with violence” and that it “never came to mind”.

“As the Deputy Director of the FBI, I blame, standing with the director, governing the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the world. The director and I are also responsible for watching the serious mistakes made by the FBI in the past, and to guarantee that they will never happen again.”
He emphasized the FBI’s constant commitment to supporting federal law enforcement partners investigating any threats involving state officials, past or modern ones.
“While the FBI does not carry a primary investigation for investigating threats against Potus, and we do not make the prosecutor’s office decisions, we have the opportunity and powers to support other federal agencies for violations of the federal law,” Bonggin said.
“And we certainly have the responsibility to comment on issues related to former FBI officials and allegations of violation of the law.”
The US Secret Service has already interviewed Komi about the incident. Director of FBI paste A separate statement said that the bureau “in communication with the secret service and director Kuran.”
Bongina noted that this last controversy is part of the general heritage of the dysfunction, which inherited from the Komi leadership, which he and the pan are working to fix from the inside.
“As I said in the past, I can’t open all things that the director and I do to reform the enterprise, but I assure that they are happening,” Bongin wrote. “Unfortunately, many of these subjects are the result of poor decision making of the former director and brutal leadership.
“And to those who doubt me, I assure you when you see that we see the director from the inside, it’s even worse.”
