Former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker says President Trump ought to apologize to the FBI for his attacks on the organization after Trump’s own Justice Department’s inspector general found that the start of the Russia probe was justified

"I think the President should apologize to us," James Baker, the former FBI general counsel, told CNN's Chris Cuomo."I respectfully ask him, I would ask him to apologize to me, to my colleagues, because the things he said are just wrong. And I think he should step up and do that at a minimum.

While the report detailed errors the FBI committed during the investigation, specifically about surveillance warrants issued for a former Trump campaign aide, it essentially rebuts more than two years of talking points by Trump and Republicans about a deep-state effort to derail his campaign.Read MoreBaker also said that he had not expected Attorney General William Barr's comments on Monday criticizing the FBI and contradicting some of the report's key findings.

Fake news. Wait a bit.

Lol another debunked claim. Those aren’t the words US attorney Durham used. IG is very limited in what he can look at, Durham on the other hand...

Putin is laughing. Schiff, Pelosi, and Nadler are doing exactly what he has hoped for. Dems are Putin’s puppets. Dems’ shams are crumbling. Maybe republicans will make up impeachable crimes after the election if a dem wins. Dems will lose big time. Some people call it karma.

Savanna30536386 Lmao ...how about the 17 findings of misconduct. Do you folks ever stop with the lies!

Good luck with that. Narcissists don’t apologize, as apologizing means admitting fault, of which they have none

Try apologising to the nation for what the FBI put them through. Then get MSNBC ABC and Adam Schiff to apologise for pushing the fake Russia collusion.

Trump should apologize, but expecting him too is a waste! He never apologize’s to anyone.

Yeah, hold your breath and wait for that to happen, douchebag.

Sorry ,the word (Apologize) is not in mr trump's vocabulary book.

As soon as Obama is added to Mt. Rushmore, he'll get right on it.....😂

Nobody says something negative about Trump. Every fake news outlet publishes it

Don't hold your breath! TrumpIsADisgrace trumpIsACorruptLiar

Uh. Perhaps you missed this in the report. 'The FBI's application was filled with errors, omissions and uncorroborated information'. And the bureau knowingly withheld exculpatory information, using 'defensive briefings' to secretly access the Trump campaign.

seriously, you guys are either using a posttruth interpretation of the english language or some sort of democratic privilege dictionary.......how on earth do you get 'debunked' from the rampant and UNEXPLAINED abuse of process. Use the Muller report standard u invented.

The audacity and ego on these partisan hacks.

Yeah when he’ll freezes over. Little snowflake.

Don’t think so....⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Don't bet on an apology from the President. He has not learned that word yet on his alleged extensive Webster vocabulary that according to him has the highest IQ in the whole nation

No this is only the beginning kids. But you know that hence the 24/7 panic mode you are in

PitaRampal Only in Neverland...

Hey CNN, how come no outrage on this?

Not sure what he thinks was debunked. The IG had a very limited scope & had to work without subpoenas, only able to talk to current gov employees. The fact that Durham moved from an inquiry to a CRIMINAL investigation says there’s more to come.

I have a better chance of having a pet Great White shark than you have at getting an apology from him.

not so fast. investigations against the russia hoax is ongoing. let durham complete his report, w/c will cover doj, non-doj, n “other persons and entities both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.” ig report was confined to DOJ ONLY.

That’s why the war is continue against realDonaldTrump

Not so quick... DOJ IG report very narrow focus only interviewed the complicit at FBI/DOJ (attorneys) who know how to work the system covering their asses. The bombshell 💣 is Durham report. He is already calling bullshit on Horowitz... tic toc...

Go bite yourself

You be waiting long time..

Trump should resign. But he won’t. His paranoia will cause him to continue to obsessively attack the FBI. Barr will help him.

Winter is commin' Deap State democrates are GOIN DOWN !!!!!!!! QANON WWG1GWA Obomagate

Trump belongs to Arch Angel Micheal

He should apologize to basically all of America and most other places in the world, so wait in line.

Yeah, good luck with that. He didn't apologise to his wife when it was revealed he was with a mistress during her pregnancy

Trump should not apologise to anyone.

More likely than a Trump apology

Get in line

~ yeah that’ll happen.

MAGA2020

Let’s say it exactly like it is. Every member of the GOP, along with millions of our fellow Americans, have been RADICALIZED by the president of the United States of America, realDonaldTrump. That’s the bottom line. PRAYfortheUSA ImpeachTrump GOPComplicit GOPCorruption

Trump needs help..he's not right

Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said being accused of treason by President Trump is 'quite honestly terrifying' after the release of a watchdog report into the FBI's Russia investigation knocked down conspiracy theories peddled by the President

Baker is a moron. The real investigation - Durham - is still on.

Mr. McCabe need to understand he’s not done being investigated. He’s in trouble. They are going to get him. 😎

Getting Trump to apologize is like getting Trump to pay his bills.

Please... this is just the beginning, as A.G. Barr is just getting started - Horowitz report is a joke, with having no power to subpoena former Obama employees ( or the treasonous douche himself ) liberalillness

NOTHING has been “knocked” down. The IG report excoriates the FBI at the highest levels for knowingly using information they knew to be untrue to spy on American citizens that challenged their power. This should terrify everyone. Any of us could be next.

Help no!! McCabe should be locked up!

Truth hurts

You mean that the FBI pursued an investigation on fraudulent premises like the dossier? That one? He's vindicated!!

ZZZZzzzzz

Democrats have committed treason ...

lol, the FBI should be apologizing to the American people, Durham is coming for you.

Trump should apologize to everyone

Ain’t over yet...... it’s just getting to the Barr.....

Knocked down what FBI crooked as the day is long!!! McCave. Is a dirtbag!

I read McCabe's book 'The Threat' and it was excellent! I highly recommend it. Still trying to figure out what 'Beautiful Black Sky' means, though. TheThreat

You mean the report from the Deep State on their activities? Not a conspiracy theory. McCabes days are numbered! Enter Durham!

jeebus christo we know he conspired with the russians, even if that idiot mueller couldn't find a signed agreement AS IF the focking KGB would have contract with its kompromat assets. who is dumber, trump or mueller or the dee OJ?

Nah...just wait. Yo know what’s coming!

Y’all sure have been posting this FakeNews a lot in the last few hours.

Wait for the real report... 😂😂😂

Wondering why the president isn’t charged with slander for saying false statements about people and inciting violence?

Wait until Durham finishes before you say something stupid.

Truth hurts.

He will NEVER apologize for anything!!!!

Apologize for you being incompetent?

So who authorized to start spying on the Trump campaign before July when it supposedly started? That was never answered. How can u overlook the fact that the Hilary campaigned spied on Trump first?

yeah...as if this is the end of it. Boys, it's just begun. Barr's already gotten 8 indictments out. Wait until Durham is finished. He rejected it for good reasons.

Let’s all hope these two are the first to be indicted by Durham and Barr.

I think Donald Tramp is a best prisdent in the American.

Mistakes, but no political bias in FBI probe of Trump campaign: watchdogThe U.S. Justice Department’s internal watchdog said it found numerous errors but no evidence of political bias by the FBI when it opened an investigation into contacts between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia in 2016 Considering we currently see Comey, Brennan and Clapper doing anti-Trump crusades and saw Stzrok and Page openly and avidly anti-Trump in text messages, I think that portion of Horowitz is an utterly ridiculous position. Fire Horowitz. Then arrest him as a coconspirator “The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken.” Bill Barr AG
