Former FBI Official Proposes 'Bipartisan Commission' to Vet Presidential Candidates Like Trump
2020-10-04
[AMGREATNESS] A former top FBI official on Thursday proposed that a "bipartisan commission" be created to vet presidential candidates so people like President Trump can never be elected again.
Like Iran has...
"We got this wrong, and this can’t happen again," said Frank Figliuzzi, who was briefly the assistant director of the FBI under President Obama.
When the FBI gets to say who can run for president it's time to disband the FBI.
During a discussion on MSNBC about Trump’s taxes Thursday morning, Figliuzzi opined that the president’s supposedly dire financial situation made him "vulnerable" to certain entities like {{{Russia}}}.
First he was briefly — ie not long enough to be confirmed, even by President Obama — the assistant director of the FBI, and now he is an MSNBC contributor, where he is no doubt making equivalently impressive contributions to the national understanding...
"He is the most vulnerable president in our history in terms of compromise and potential exposure to those who want to help him dig out of this financial pit in return for a price," Figliuzzi said. "And that’s where the national security problem comes in."

The former G-man added—without evidence—that the president was "entangled with Russia and the former Soviet Block," therefore he was potentially involved with Russian organized crime figures too.

"We need to have a national discussion about how we vet a presidential candidate," Figliozzi declared. "We screwed this up."

He suggested that the media in 2016 didn’t dig "deeply enough" to find dirt on Trump, and added "it’s time to have a discussion about a bipartisan committee that demands tax returns. Make that a requirement."

Figliozzi said the task of the committee would be to expose "financial pictures"of the candidates.

"We got this wrong, and this can’t happen again," he concluded.
