Former assistant director of the FBI James Kallstrom said Sunday he believes there’s a “Fifth Column conspiracy” in the bureau determined to destroy President Donald Trump — and may have committed a “serious felony” in doing so.
In an interview aired Sunday with radio host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on 970 AM in New York, Kallstrom said those trying to undercut the bureau from within are a small group.
“Ninety-nine percent of the people in the FBI are doing a fantastic job,” he said. “It’s a small cabal of people running the FBI, the James Comey sycophants.”
Kallstrom called the development “a nasty thing to be watching… people in the FBI getting very political, not basing their [work] on the rule of law or protecting the American public.”
“I’m coming more and more to the conclusion that this is a conspiratorial cabal among the fifth column to basically take away the presidency of the United States,” he said.
“This whole thing with Russia is just a farce,” he said, adding: “If we find out that that phony [Russian dossier] was brought to the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] in the form of an affidavit for a judge’s authority, and if we find out that the people signing that affidavit in the bureau knew that that was phony information, that is a serious serious felony.”
