Following Trump&#8217;s directive to \u2064fire\u2063 eight executive-level FBI\u2062 officials\u200d and request the \u2064names \u2063of others\u200b connected to the investigation,\u200c Crockett described these dismissals as a &#8220;cleansing&#8221; \u2062of the FBI, arguing they threaten the \u200bintegrity of\u2064 democratic checks and balances. She accused Trump\u200d of acting \u2064like a\u200b dictator\u200b and emphasized that Americans need to recognize the \u2063severity of his\u2063 actions. In\u200c response to\u200c the firings,\u2064 Trump claimed he was not aware\u2063 of them and labeled \u200dsome FBI personnel involved as\u2062 &#8220;bad peopel.&#8221; Crockett,\u200c who has consistently criticized Trump, warned that his\u200b divisive \u2064leadership could undermine the United States.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jasmine Crockett says there is &lsquo;a thug in charge of the United States&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1963046\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jasmine-crockett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jasmine Crockett<\/a> (D-TX) blasted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">President Donald Trump<\/a> for firing FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s acting attorney general, Emil Bove, directed the FBI to dismiss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3307712\/trump-doj-fires-fbi-agents-lawyers-who-worked-on-jan-6-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"eight executive-level officials\">eight <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">executive-level officials<\/a><\/a> over the weekend.
