Former FBI Director James Comey came to the agencys defense this morning as President Trump continues to attack it over the informant used during the election.
This morning alone Trump has tweeted that the FBI may end up getting caught in a major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before and that SPYGATE could be one of the biggest political scandals in history!
Republicans in Congress have expressed their agreement with the President on this issue, but now the man who led the FBI at the time is responding.
Comey took to Twitter this morning with this message:
Facts matter, Comey wrote. The FBIs use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?
"Dangerous time when our country is led by those who will lie about anything, backed by those who will believe anything, based on information from media sources that will say anything. Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth."

...ironic, isn't it?
Who am I going to believe...
Comey or my lying eyes???
“Confidential Human Services”... dude, you lost right there...
Like calling rape “semi consensual human relations”
Keep digging, Jimmy.
Spying on an opposing political campaign is NOT essential to national security. I’m not buying it. Did they tell the candidate? No? Then they were spying on him. #spygate
Your 15 minutes is up Comey the Clown.
Says the man who intentionally misrepresented the facts in the Hillary server case.
LOLOLOLOL! What a pussy.
When the Obama commissars that plotted to undermine American democracy are arrested, Comey is the most psychologically conflicted, the weakest and is most likely to talk to avoid serious jail time. Clapper, Brennan, McCabe and Lynch will take a bullet for the vile Obama.
Sure Weasel Jimmy. Just like the media collusionists you leaked to.
A message to his loyalists within the bureau.
How many Confidential Human Sources did he place in Hillary’s campaign?
Cue the Black Knight from Monte Python....... it will be interesting to observe how Comey is viewed by his defenders after the OIG report.
Confidential Human Services... dude, you lost right there...
Yep. When you resort to semantics and grammar over substance you have lost the argument.
Lordy......
Like the guy that said "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" and his minions who believed it? I could go on and on, but will spare everybody..
FU Comey...you traitor.
Disband the FBI NOW.
I see this as a threat that FBI has obtained dirt on GOP members and will release this.
When is spying on your political opponents appropriate? When a democrat is doing it of course.
