MSNBC’s Pete Strzok: We Need a Special Unit to Protect FBI Agents from Americans

EXCERPT:

STRZOK: “Well, in my opinion, we’re not doing enough. I mean, look, when push comes to shove, absolutely, the FBI and DoJ need to band together and protect their personnel to allow them to do their job. They’re going to do it, but they need to be able to do it without fear for their lives. When the FBI was fighting Al Capone, there was not a unit dedicated to protecting FBI personnel. When the FBI was fighting organized crime families in New York and all around the U.S., there was not a unit dedicated to protecting FBI personnel. I’m struck by the fact, you threw up that quote from testimony from an FBI agent to the House Judiciary Committee. Who’s the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee? Jim Jordan. And yet, Jim Jordan hearing that these threats to this AUSA are resulting, are coming about from being publicized, he nevertheless goes on television and appears in the same little snips that you showed, repeating the name of this AUSA. So, congressmen, senators, they don’t care about this threat. But we need to be doing more, in my opinion. I’m glad to see the FBI and Director Wray and others starting to talk about this, but we need to talk about it even more.”
