Should FBI be Allowed to “Vet” Trump Nominees?

Two former* Senate counsels came out with an op-ed this week in the NYT, the paper of record for the swamp-dwelling establishment types, about how it’s imperative that Trump’s appointees undergo FBI background checks.
Why?
Trump is capable of privately vetting these people. We elected him, we trust him and his judgment.
We didn’t elect the FBI and we don’t give a rip about what their judgment is. Especially given the fact that they have done nothing but destroyed conservatives for the past eight years.
So that would be a hard pass.

Getting the FBI involved is just another deep state attempt to control the executive branch. We didn’t elect the FBI. Get out of the way.
Realistically, the vote for Trump was a condemnation of the FBI who had been targeting him the last few years. No one trusts the FBI, nor should they due to their dubious track record over the last decade or two.


Well, no FBI vetting pre taking office means no damaging “leaks” on Trump appointees.  Of course, the deep state establishment types don’t like that. Trump takes office, fires the top brass at the FBI and installs his people, investigates the FBI, and exposes the corruption, and THEN we can do background checks, not before.  

Make no mistake about it, we didn’t elect the FBI, we elected Donald Trump to make the decisions, to decide who his vice president will be, to decide who he wants in his cabinet, not the FBI which has been violating the public trust for some time now.
