1/ Trump isn't a fan of the FBI, but the truth is, the men & women who make up the Bureau work day in & day out to keep the American people safe. There are Joint Terrorism Task Forces across the country that bring federal, state & local law enforcement together to keep us safe.
2/ There are cases of national prominence, like the AbdulMutallab, who tried to take down a plane flying into Detroit with a shoe bomb on my good friend @BarbMcQuade's 1st day on board as US Attorney. cnn.com/2012/02/16/jus…
3/ But there are scores more cases every year, across the country, that you've never heard about. And they are very important. The FBI's vigilance & commitment has prevented & prosecuted support of terrorism that could have endangered us if undetected.
4/ Here's one example: in my district we prosecuted an Uzbeki who overstayed his visa. He was arrested in the process of buying (thankfully from undercover agents) grenades & a machine gun. His goal was to assassinate the President. archives.fbi.gov/archives/birmi…
5/ In just that one case, the FBI, other fed'l, state & local law enforcement responded immediately to investigate & arrest someone who was a threat to our country. Their work was outstanding. This is who the FBI really is - folks who work hard to keep us safe. /end
