Coulson, appearing on Fox News’ “The Story With Martha MacCallum,” said, “I know the FBI. I know the FBI culture and I know how they feel about the integrity of what they do. That’s who we are. We are not FBI agents for just for a title. There’s a culture among us, and the ones that have left and the ones that are still there, and we want to be viewed as somebody that’s not corruptible.” (RELATED: Comey Draft Said It Was ‘Reasonably Likely’ That Hillary’s Server Was Hacked)
He continued, “And I think that the leadership under Comey basically let us down. His former agents and his current agents, he let us down, he let politics creep into the process and at least, he violated the look back rule here, and how that happened, I do not know.” (RELATED: Trump Is Fighting The FBI Old-Guard — But Watch How The FBI Academy Reacts When He Takes The Stage [VIDEO])
