So a couple of facts that we need to make clear for everyone is that, number one, Director Christopher Ray, when he was appointed to be the head of the FBI, was appointed by Donald Trump. Now, I will agree that I definitely take issue with a number of decisions that Donald Trump makes, especially when it comes to the people that he decides to appoint to very important positions, including this one because I did have to make sure that I wasn't going crazy.

Yet we are supposed to believe that you were the greatest thing since sliced bread.
