Comey rips Trump, GOP over 'lying'
The Hill ^ | 12/17/18 | Olivia Beavers

Former FBI Director James Comey on Monday railed against President Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, arguing their attacks on the FBI made no sense.

Comey slammed GOP lawmakers for remaining silent while he said Trump disregarded the rule of law.

"So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,” Comey told reporters after he was interviewed for roughly six hours behind closed doors. “This while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense?”

In biting comments, Comey characterized GOP lawmakers as too cowardly to stand up for the FBI for fear of political backlash.

“Republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter, the words of a president matter, the rule of law matters, and the truth matters. Where are those Republicans today,” Comey said. “At some point, someone has to stand up and in the fear of Fox News and fear of their base, and fear of mean tweets, stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement.”

Comey believes or knows he's untouchable.

Or maybe he is desperate to avoid punishment for his role in the attempted soft coup.

Comey believes he is the USAs new messiah.

“So another day of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier,”

Yes. Two massive crimes that went unprosecuted thanks to a very corrupt FBI and DOJ. Must be Trumps fault.

Comey used his own private email thingy. Of course, he’s not gonna find that HRC did anything wrong. Comey would have had to find he himself did wrong.

More than a dozen DOJ and FBI lowlifes have crawled back into the swamp since Trump was elected. And Comey is the king of the swamp creatures.

Both he and Brennan have completely blown to bits the fanciful, stupid idea that the CIA, DOJ and FBI are “quiet, unpolitical, government professionals.”

James Comey is so obviously a completely partisan democrat. Anybody listening to him standing there saying he could find no intent in Hillary Clinton hiring a computer firm to completely bleach her harddrives and to have smashed her cellphones with a hammer is an out and out liar. He was bent on protecting the democrats.

Comey rips Trump...

Apparently crooked Comey has no fear of the "Trump Justice Department". In fact he's rubbing it into Trump's face.

It's a sorry sight.

I’m sorry Trump kept him as long as he did.

“Comey is a dirtbag.”

Sounding lamer and more desperate with every utterance.
Damn good to see.

good to know who some of the true enemies of the state are. He need to have his day to meet justice or a fixer to lay things out straight. No one should be above the law. This guy is a traitor and should be treated as such.
