With former FBI director James Comey reportedly considering a movie deal, events are undermining his narrative by the day, even for a reduced version of “A Few Good Men.” The man Comey described as a “good man,” his former top aide Andrew McCabe, was just referred by the Justice Department’s inspector general for criminal charges. Comey now says “Good people lie. I think I’m a good person, where I have lied.” That is not exactly the stuff of Tom Cruise yelling, “I want the truth!”
The truth is that Comey and McCabe repeatedly have criticized President Trump for degrading the FBI, but this week has changed their comments from pointed hyperbole to pathetic hypocrisy. Both men have now done profound harm to the FBI’s integrity and legacy. McCabe became the first acting FBI director to be fired on the recommendation of career Justice Department investigators.
For his part, Comey became the first FBI director in history to rush a tell-all book to print. While former FBI director Louis Freeh later wrote about his career, it was not a detailed account of an ongoing investigation where he was not only the head but now a key witness. Comey not only apparently declined to confer with special counsel Robert Mueller about the book’s timing, but he went on to reference both disclosed and undisclosed evidence in it.
Weeks ago, I wrote a column asking why McCabe has not been charged with false statements under 18 U.S.C. 1001 following reports that he lied multiple times about leaking information to the media.

You have to understand that to the progressive mind, you're good because of what you believe, not because of what you do. Similarly, you're a bad person if you have bad beliefs, regardless of what you do (see the New Yorker's problems with Chik Fil A for the latest example).
What you do in pursuit of the "good" beliefs doesn't matter. In other words, the ends justifies the means.
Every agency of our federal government has been corrupted by the Kenyanesian Usurper.
That is precisely why the founders excluded the children of foreign nationals from the office of President with the natural born citizen requirement.
Yes...your post was spot on. Alinsky 101.
With each passing day, my disgust and contempt for the parties involved in this expands past boundaries I did not think I would cross.
My greatest fear? They are going to stop at McCabe as the sacrificial lamb. McCabe is a pussy, and I hope he has begun singing like a bird, but regardless, we should see Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Obama, Clinton, and a host of others follow that path to prison.
They still think they are going to lie and obfuscate their way out of it, and they may be right, but I hope they aren’t.
The FBI has to always display that it is competent, unbiased and honest.
If it can’t, then it’s done.
Yeah, I’m still waiting for all those straight arrows to blow the whistle. Silence.
That’s why it should come clean... willingly.
It already was a movie.

He then called McCabe a liar, in that inimical Comey style of first saying McCabe is a “good person” but that the “inspector general found he lied.” The criminal referral could now lead to the bizarre scene of Comey testifying against McCabe. Since Comey has previously testified under oath that he never leaked or approved of a leak, that would be a brutal cross-examination between two self-proclaimed “good men.”
Too bad the corrupt biased hateful writers at the New York Times and Washington Post would be too much 'in the tank' with 'elites' to bothering covering this... it'd be great copy.
Jonathan Turley. An admitted liberal. A law professor at George Washington. But, also someone that to me, at least, has a respect for the law that would be hard to equal. Again, for me, if someone like him is asking why McCabe isn’t being charged, then something ain’t right.
The corruption has always been there. It started with the clinton crime syndicate. But, The Usurper took it to a level of lawlessness, where, if you were on his team you could do no wrong. And he and his minions weren’t shy about doing it to your face. Because they learned they would never be held accountable.
