Comey bashes release of Nunes memo: 'That's it?'

Former FBI Director James Comey torched Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee over the release of a memo alleging the Department of Justice abused a surveillance program on Friday, tweeting, “That’s it?”

“Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what?” Comey tweeted Friday.

“DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs,” he added.

The House Intelligence Committee released the memo Friday, shortly after President Trump approved the document’s release. The document was complied by the office of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and alleges that the Justice Department abused a surveillance program.

The memo claims that the department used information gained from the so-called Steele dossier — which was partially funded by the Democratic National Committee — to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

The FBI made a rare public statement expressing concerns about the release of the memo, saying it leaves out important context. Comey praised the FBI for "speaking up" on Thursday.

All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would. But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy.

— James Comey (@Comey) February 1, 2018 Democrats slammed the release of the memo. The Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee said House Republicans were "complicit in efforts to obstruct justice" by releasing the memo.

He’s begging POTUS to go after him. Better to toss him in the garbage and focus on MAGA. Otherwise, this mess will be a tar baby. The media is salivating at the idea of a Trump admin civil war. POTUS won’t give it to them, IMO.

There’s the root of the problem. Comey thinks nothing is wrong with a police state that’s weaponized against its citizens, flauted the law, and the will of the people. And your leaders, Clinton and Obama, similarly thought political affiliations in contrast to yours should be targeted by the IRS. I wish you all dead....you deserve no less you despicable POS.

Why, Comey? Is there more? Do tell, and don’t hold back now!

Comey is a narcissist. It manifests as a Messiah Complex. He thinks he’s on a mission from God Himself.

It makes him feel entitled to ignore things like rules and laws. Those things only apply to mere mortals.

No one will ever convince him that he has done anything improper. Whatever he does is in service of his Higher Calling.

All narcissists have the potential to do a lot of damage. Nothing special about this one.

I can’t even keep track of all the corrupt, treasonous bastards that are scurrying around under the spotlight. To hell (and before that, hopefully prison) with all of them (yes, I know - never ever going to happen). Our government (apart from Trump and a handful of Republicans), is completely and utterly corrupt (thanks, Obamao and dems).

Think about it. Comey is finished.

What will he now do with his life? Cower, fear, regret, shame, anger?

Paranoia might sink in. That would be fun.

It’s bad but Americans are too brain dead to see their country is slipping right through their fingers. The deep state and the MSM is downplaying it but illegally spying on a presidential candidate is a a wholesale undermining of the American election system. The Watergate burglars only attempted to do this but these people succeeded.
