Comey blasts Trump's FBI claims: 'How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?'
The Hill ^ | 05/23/18 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 05/23/2018 7:43:18 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former FBI director James Comey on Wednesday slammed President Trump's recent claims about the FBI, accusing him of “lying” about the bureau's work.

Comey’s tweets comes as Trump has intensified his attacks on the agency in recent days, claiming without evidence that the FBI placed an informant within his campaign for political purposes.

"Facts matter. The FBI’s 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."

Two days ago I noted Comey hadn't tweeted since May 11. (Does anyone know of an event around that time that may have caused him to go silent?)

Anyway, he's back with, 'Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children'.

First deny it, and then when that doesn’t work, make excuses. I’ve had it with that sanctimonious SOB. He belongs in federal prison. He spied on the Trump campaign without the candidate’s consent.

How will I? Trump was elected despite the evil Obama administration spying on him. He perverted the FBI for political purposes. Yet Trump won and arrested them all despite great odds. God must have blessed America again in it’s hour of need.

“Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth.”

Okay Mr. Comey, the Mueller so-called “investigation” has found no evidence of Russian collusion, has it?

Be truthful now.

LOL! Srsly? How will everyday folks (conservatives) explain this to their grand children? I thought this assclown was touted as being uber smart. Simple jimmy. ‘Once upon a time there were some rogue fbi agent who were working to undermine a legally elected president in a subversive manner. They were arrested, tried and convicted and sent to jail.’ EOFS! See how easy that was jimmy?

Well, Mr. Comey, you can write a book from your prison cell to try and explain it to them.

I believe its time for JimmyBoy to put down that crack pipe and seek help.

So he is saying the FBI did *not* have an informant in the Trump campaign?

I don’t think so. He is just trying to spin the obvious.

Who you going to trust? Comey, or your lyin’ eyes?

How soon are we going to see claims made that the FBI also planted a “spy” in the Clinton campaign to protect it from Russian spies as well. This will definitely require tons of popcorn to see these folks spin that tall tale!

Facts matter? Innocent people do not respond this way, and Mister Comey, of all people, should know this quite well. Comey's biggest worry is that facts are becoming known.

I’d simply tell them that the FBI went through a period of great corruption, a period when it tried to influence political events.

Note that all of the recent tweets from the conspirators are aimed at linguini-spined RINOS in Congress.

“....claiming without evidence that the FBI placed an informant within his campaign for political purposes.”

Are we living in a parallel universe here? Every FOX newsfeed has not only named the spy, but also people confirming the spying.

There have been detailed timelines on this.

Rush has spoke on it.

But we still get these buys, like Clapper and Comey who deny that there was any spying, and if it was, it was to determine if Russia was meddling.

DO THEY THINK THE ENTIRE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS STUPID? THEY PLANTED THE IDEA OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION WITH PAPADAPALOUS AND OTHERS, SO THEY COULD SAY THERE WAS RUSSIAN COLLUSION WHEN PAPADAPOLOUS SAID THIS TO SOMEONE ELSE.

I mean, this is maddening.

News about Halper was starting to break for peons like us.

Comey probably had an early warning from one of his thugs still in the FBI.

Comey, Brennan and Clapper. Any bets on the first to suicide?
I'm going with Comey. Seems to be the weakest.

Man, when did The Hill become a gathering place for the blithering blathering idiots on the left?.
Obviously its been a while since I have been there, used to seem a bit more balanced, now it’s unbalanced denial of reality.
