FBI officials are scared to look into Ukraine — because of what Trump did to the ones who investigated Russia: report
According to Yahoo News, the FBI is interested in interviewing the CIA whistleblower whose complaint about President Donald Trump’s phone call with the president of Ukraine triggered the impeachment inquiry — but at least some FBI agents are frightened of getting involved because of how the president declared partisan political war on the agents who investigated his campaign’s contacts with Russia.
One former senior FBI official said that while many agents were eager to pursue this evidence, others “didn’t want to touch [the whistleblower complaint] with a 10-foot pole because of the Russia investigation.”
Trump spent months raging against the Russia probe, which was ultimately taken over by former special counsel Robert Mueller, as a “hoax” and a “witch hunt.” He fired high-ranking FBI officials including Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and he and his allies attacked some FBI officials involved by name, including Peter Strzok.

GOP ripped for refusing to remove Trump from office: ‘Folly of that failure becomes clearer by the day’
Republicans seeking to keep control of the United States Senate were harshly criticized by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for failing to remove President Donald Trump from office during impeachment.
"For four years now, as both a candidate and president, Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked America’s voting system, falsely claiming voter fraud any time it suited his needs. In a new low, last week he threatened the federal funding of two states over their reasonable moves to facilitate mail-in voting," the newspaper noted in an editorial published online on Memorial Day. "What does it say that the head of the world’s leading democracy is so intent on undermining that democracy?"
On Monday, during his observance of Memorial Day, former Vice President Joe Biden donned a face mask in accordance with CDC guidelines — a contrast with President Donald Trump, who has frequently refused to wear a mask even in some places that require them.
But Fox News senior analyst Brit Hume went out of his way to mock how Biden looked wearing it.
