Since the weekend, a number of officials and media personalities, including Fox News hosts, have called on former President Donald Trump to call for an “end to the violent rhetoric” expressed against the FBI. (RELATED: Gunman Killed After Trying to Enter FBI Building)
On Monday morning's episode of “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said Trump, “a great supporter of law enforcement” should help tamp down on the rhetoric “against the FBI because the FBI was simply doing what the DOJ asked them to do.”
Co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt called out the FBI, echoing the widely held belief about the Bureau's current political biases, but they also condemned any violence and threats of violence with Earhardt saying “no one is for the violence of FBI agents.”
Doocy in turn recommended that people frustrated by alleged hypocrisy between the treatment of Republicans and Democrats by federal law enforcement recognize that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland was the man behind the Mar-a-Lago search warrant.

Hours after the “Fox & Friends” trio issued a call for cooler heads to prevail, former President Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman he “will do whatever” he can to “help the country” and bring the temperature down or “terrible things are going to happen.”
The Daily Wire reports:
“People are so angry at what is taking place,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “Whatever we can do to help—because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn't, terrible things are going to happen.”
Trump referenced the “years of fake witch hunts and phony Russia, Russia, Russia schemes and scams,” emphasizing that “nothing happens to those people who perpetuate that—nothing happens with them.”
He added: “And then they break into a president's house—a sneak attack where it was totally—no one ever thought a thing like this would happen.”
Trump also said he told the DOJ he would do whatever he could to help. It is not immediately clear what kind of help Trump offered the DOJ, and the former president's team did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Before the DOJ's warrant was unsealed, Trump used an intermediary to deliver a similar message to Attorney General Garland, saying according to a person with firsthand knowledge that “The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?”
According to Business Insider, it's unclear if the message ever reached Garland.
The attempt to deliver the message preceded Garland's Thursday press conference where he announced DOJ's decision to unseal the search warrant. Trump had previously demanded the search warrant be released, even though he had a copy of it and the ability to do so himself.
Around the same time as Garland's speech, but hours before DOJ unsealed the records, Breitbart published a leaked version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant — including the names of the FBI agents who signed their names on the property receipts.
The version released by DOJ had all of the same information but redacted the agents' names. The FBI is currently grappling with an “unprecedented” number of threats made against its agents.
The identity of the leaker to Breitbart, a media outlet long managed by Steve Bannon, remains unknown. Breitbart was roundly criticized for its decision to doxx the agents.
Hours later, Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, sent a push alert to its members with the article that included the unredacted search warrant.
A day later, police killed a man armed with an AR-15 and a nail gun who attempted to breach an FBI office in Cincinnati shortly after posting “Kill [the FBI] on sight” on Truth Social.
The post has since been removed by moderators.

You just cannot blame Garland. FBI had an obligation not to follow illegal or unethical orders. Ergo, they are also complicit and ahouldbe held accountable.
Ironic J Edgar Hoover REFUSED Nixons Request to Spy on Dem, McGgovern.. NO SUCH credibility left at the fbi. You Can Bet if 80 Abortion Clinics were Attacked instead of Pro Life Centers and Pro Abort Judges Doxxed the FBI Would Have Arrested Dozens. One Nut with a Nail Gun is a Isolated incident. Need to Pursue H Biden and Daddy Joe instead.
WTF do we have in the white house??? EXCLUSIVE: Biden’s CIA Director Employed Chinese Communist Party Members While Heading Elite DC Think Tank
Place the blame where it belongs! The woman with the blind fold and the scale of Justice prosecuting everything to Republicans and NEvER anything for the Democrats. Kind of unusual isn’t it? Notice the difference since Biden got in somehow?
Bannon is not connected to Breitbart and has not been for several years.
Americans are fed up. Fbi should’ve never broke into his home and they took things that were personal and things their eyes shouldn’t of been reading bit it’s been days now and Wray and the rest of them sit back and laugh they feel untouchable people are not going to just stand around and let their country fall
Once again President Trump is trying to turn down the heat on the hatred of Garland and the FBI. I feel some sympathy for the agents forced to carry out the orders from their corrupt leaders. If they don’t, they will pay the price. Often that price is a forced transfer to a hell-hole like Detroit, New Orleans, or Chitcago. Dialing back the rhetoric might also save the lives of crazy people like the guy who went up against the FBI with a nail-gun then fled to the false safety of a cornfield. Patriotic agents and citizens can be more effective against the tyrants by blowing whistles and subtle sabotage from within when opportunities arise.
It doesn’t matter. They need to tell the Truth know matter what. We are talking about people in Authority afre to be held accountable to their Oath in office and TELL THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD.
The swamp has tried to destroy Trump time and time again. They’ve unleased hell against him but would appreciate if he would tone down the rhetoric, really? Only a liberal idiot would ask someone they’re viciously attacking to be a good sport about it.
Maybe the corrupt bosses need a fishing trip supported by all the agents???? Maybe they can work it out?????
Somebody needs to make them an “offer they can’t refuse.”
Don Vito Corleone
No credibility left for FBI. Their inaction for yrs on H. Biden Laptop ended any Respect They Had. You C
Americans anger toward government has very little to do with Trump, it’s the dictator like control they think they have over the people, the two tiered justice system, the weaponized agencies pushing the people and asking for a fight and the fact that this administration has f ed up everything it’s touched and they think it’s funny.
This is just a sample of why the American people are pissed.
I would just like to see President Trump throw in a jab or two every now and then to keep reminding the left and all their commies that the people will never forget or let them forget what they did to the LEGAL PRESIDENT AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
Every time he does, the lame-stream media, DEMONrats and RINOs go crying all over the press saying their feelings are hurt and Trump is a bad man, etc, etc..
Do it anyhow!!!
We can see where they, the FBI and the fake news, is going to take this. They are going to ramp it up like the fake Jan.6 insurrection and blame it on the” right wing domestic terrorists”. They are so desparate to demonize President Trump and true Patriots because they know that he will win in 2024. It is so mind-blowing how evil these people are. We know that President Trump would never incite violence. We know that they are lying and trying to spin it in the fake media. Even those in fox news are fake. They remind me of the fake rinos. They talk like they are on the side of Americans but they are not.
We UNITE in Prayer as One Body in Christ and take Authority over these devils In THE NAME OF JESUS so that God can stop their wicked plans. Jesus said that He gave us the Power and Authority in HIS NAME to dismantle and cast out wicked spirits in high places. We do not fight flesh and blood. Our main warfare is in the spirit realm. We as Believers Love God and Love one another. We Unite in Love and not hate. Many true Patriots are answering the call to go into politics. We support them and pray for them to succeed. We campaign for them. We vote for them if they love America and stand for truth and what is right.
Jesus told us that by the Love we have for one another and especially for Him is how the world will know that we are His disciples. As a Believer in Jesus Christ we have Hope if we Trust and Believe in His Promises. Be encouraged because He said that Greater is HE,( the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), that lives IN us than, he, (the devil and his followers),that is in this world.
The Father, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit LIVE IN US who Love them, and Trust and Obey them. Ephesians 5:18. TPT “And don’t get drunk with wine, which is rebellion; instead be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
My sister was defrauded of her life savings. Where was the FIB?
Destroying HRC’s 9 Blackberry phones?, Covering classified documents on her private server??
Contriving false FISA warrants based on letters from illicit Russian spies???
Searching Melania Trump’s closet????
I’ve had enough of this madness. If the rest of the country doesn’t see the obvious we are lost!!!

It seems nobody wants to connect this sordid affair to the Obama cabal, which is amply funded by George Soros. In my opinion, Biden is but a puppet, one whose avarice allows him to be totally immoral. Garland is but a sycophant. who fortunately was prevented from being a Supreme Court justice.
Read ‘The Roots of Obama’s Rage, and understand Kruschev’s comment, (paraphrased), ‘The USA will only be destroyed from within.’.
I almost wish he hadn’t commented, “we need to bring the temperature down, or terrible things are going to happen” because this is the cue to ANTIFA and BLM to put on MAGA hats and riot everywhere as they did in D.C.
Phonies, crooks, thugs, liars, cheaters, haters and the victim is suppose to curtail his anger because they say his rhetoric is “violent”??? GIVE ME A BREAK. If the shoe fits then i would expect the phones, crooks, thugs, liars, cheaters, haters and all the Fox news and mainstream media do the same!!! Six FK years of anything violent was spoken, encouraged, acted out and still is and the phonies of the media want Pres. Trump to tone down the “violent’ rhetoric!!! Just keep the status quo phony nice-nice behaviors while the status quo phonies, crooks, thugs, liars, cheaters, haters continue theirs!! Buffoons!
The DOJ and FBI are beyond corrupt, and the IRS wants to hire over 80,000 new agents who are willing to use lethal force against the citizens.
You jerks made the rules, don’t get mad if the people play by the same rules. You asked for it.
I bet if 80 Abortion Clinics instead of Pro Life Centers were Attacked or Offensive Pro Abort Judges were Doxed of Home Addresses and hassled . The vile FBI would Have made many Arrests by Now. FBI Sitting on H. Biden info laptop has ENDED any Credibility they once had…….. Ironic J Edgar Hoover REFUSED to Spy on McGovern and Dems for Soon to Win big in 1972 Election for Pres. Paranoid Nixon.
Back in the 1960’s John Stormer wrote a book called None Dare Call it Treason. This title and its prophecies apply more than ever today to the slimy DemoCreeps and their Chink-a-zoid mentors. Karl Marx founded the new religion: the worship of POWER. Yet once the Bolsheviks obtain absolute power, they’ve no idea what to do, how to wield it effectively. So millions will DIE.
