Does this include FBI director Wray?
It is particularly worrisome that Trump is tweeting this just as the Nunes memo is set to be released.
Here is a brief thread on why.
1) On a fundamental level, Trump does not believe that law enforcement should be independent. He views it as an instrument of his political will.
He has repeatedly told us so himself:

Rosenstein oversees the Mueller probe.
We know Trump views the Nunes memo as a pretext for targeting Rosenstein, because that has been widely reported:

Yet they back its release anyway, knowing it could open the door to a serious escalation of Trump's abuse of power.
If that happens, they'll be complicit:

But is there any reason to doubt he's seriously considering it?
Given how cravenly Rs like Paul Ryan went along w/ #ReleaseTheMemo, is there any reason to think they won't back Trump if he does?
