Rudy Giuliani doesn’t regret saying that FBI agents and federal prosecutors involved in the Trump-Russia investigation were “wackadoodles” who cried when Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election and require psychiatric assessments.
“I’m sorry but I had to put prosecutors, not FBI agents but other law enforcement, in jail when I was a prosecutor,” Giuliani said Sunday during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” of the remarks he made Saturday to a crowd of supporters.
“The ones I was talking about were instances where people were described as crying when Hillary lost,” he continued. “I said if you’re an FBI agent or prosecutor that’s crying and you work for me, I’m sorry, I would send you for a mental evaluation. You shouldn’t be working on a case where you have such a severe bias.”

On Saturday, Giuliani suggested federal prosecutors and FBI agents sympathetic to Clinton should have been taken to Bellevue Hospital in New York to see a psychiatrist if they were so distraught over her defeat.
“If you fail to recognize the crimes, unethical behavior of federal law enforcement officials, you are undermining our system of justice,” Giuliani added. “If you call them out and you do something about it, which the Justice Department hasn’t done yet but has to, then you are reaffirming that no one is above the law and that’s all we want here.”
