"When you're attacking FBI agents because you're under criminal investigation, you're losing."

We agree. In case you missed it, Trump fired James Comey the FBI director who was heavily involved into an investigation of alleged Russian interference with the US election.

Of course, there's been lots of criticism around it, but we wouldn't expect it from Trump's deputy-press secretary.

The tweet wasn't written in light of Comey's firing, it's from last November - just before the election - in light of speculation that Hillary Clinton was disliked within the FBI.

When he saw that, he had to speak up on that action, and I think that was the final catalyst.
