Former assistant FBI director rips Comey: ‘Not a strong enough person’ to be FBI director

Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom knocked recently ousted FBI Director James Comey, saying he was not strong enough to hold the FBI’s top post.

“He just doesn’t have it in him to be FBI director. He is not a strong enough person,” Kallstrom told radio host John Catsimatidis in an interview that aired Sunday on AM 970 in New York.

“He lacks a lot of common sense,” Comey’s predecessor continued.

Kallstrom went on to rip Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, in which he claimed President Trump had asked him for his loyalty and to drop the bureau's probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

“His performance the other day, I thought was extremely, extremely weak. You know the notion that he got all quivers in his stomach, and he got nervous and emotional and all this other stuff and he had to run back and write a memo,” he said.

The former FBI assistant director went on to suggest that Comey did not write memos during other ongoing investigations.

“Did he write a memo when they sent a criminal referral over on Hillary Clinton and said you couldn't call it an investigation? Did he write a memo when they wouldn't approve a grand jury? Did he write a memo when the Internal Revenue Service went after thousands of freedom-loving people in this country and terrified them?” he rhetorically asked.

“Where does this guy come off talking about writing memos?”

Trump has denied the claims made in Comey’s testimony and said Friday he would “100 percent” testify under oath to special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed to lead the probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

Kallstrom, a frequent Comey critic, is also a Trump supporter. His Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation was the beneficiary of a $1 million donation from Trump following a fundraiser he held during his presidential campaign, according to The Washington Post.

That sounds like a fair assessment. I wonder how he got as far as he did.

I have to agree. However it is probably the type of person that Obama and company wanted at the head of the FBI. Someone they could push around.

Appointed by HUSSEIN OBAMA and CORRUPT.

Whats missing in all of this is an examination of his OUTRAGEOUS “clearing” of the ARCH CRIMINAL HELL SPAWN SHRILLARY!, where he decided he would be the AG too, and no INDICTMENT FOR violating the law regarding classified info was necessary..

Wheres the scumbags Comeys memo from that meeting with “Lynch”?.

“He just doesn’t have it in him to be FBI director. He is not a strong enough person,”

How is that different from what Comey said about himself?

Trump ought to identify and imprison the conspirators on that one, and the plane that was blown up over the Rockaways a day or two after 9/11 too.

COVERUP

MISINFORMATION

Blown-up plane over the Rockaways? First I have heard of this. Could you provide details? Thanks.

Just read an article that said according to Barton Gellman’s Bush-bashing book, Comey wrote a similar memo- grandfather clock details and all- after a discussion with President W Bush.

Obama put him in place to CYA/run interference for himself and the Clintons. He’s a criminal and was used like a mobster uses a consigliere.

That is an easy answer. He is a corrupt lying weasel. He is also a multi millionaire. He made these millions via his connections with the Clintons and HSBC. HSBC laundered drug money and in Comey’s past positions they only paid a fine and nobody went to jail. Comey is also associated with the corrupt Clinton Foundation. Follow link below for details.

Oddly enough I do not think he is pro Trump or anti Trump. He is just simply a corrupt man that answers to those that give him great wealth. He should be in jail for his crimes.

He is to be despised. He is simply a political whore.

I must apologize to whores in comparing them to Comey. They are simply business ladies. Comey is a rattlesnake in the grass. He is to be despised as he has no love of nation. He is simply a grifter and works for the highest dollar.

I’ll take Kallstrom over Comey and Mueller any day or night of the year or century.

Reminds me of my old FBI leadership friends who knew how to fight our enemies, not whine about the brie being cold.

Trump ought to identify and imprison the conspirators on that one, and the plane that was blown up over the Rockaways a day or two after 9/11 too.

That plane went down for several reasons and all avoidable.

The structural integrity of the air frame would not allow full deflection of the rudder at the airspeed of that piece of sh-t Airbus. The American Airlines training program did not incorporate these limitations in their training program relative to the piece of sh-t they were flying. The aircraft encountered extreme turbulence after take off and the pilot imputed full deflection of the rudder to correct during his climb out. The piece of sh-t Airbus tail then broke off. The pilot was operating within his training by American Airlines. Unfortunately he was flying a piece of Sh-t!

“I wonder how he got as far as he did.”

The cream doesn’t rise. Crap floats. The less integrity one has, and the more narcissistic one is, the farther one will go in our incredibly superficial world.

He “looked” the part, but there was no one home.

Got his start covering up for the Clintons. See his detailed list of slitherings and crimes here. He was sooo dirty/bought and paid for that he was just the right man to cover up things at a high LEO level.
