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.

Two words: Legal Jeopardy.
I’m so going to love watching this man fall.
And i’m out of popcorn.

Let’s put this in quotes.

Funny thing is Jim... There is plenty more to come.
There’s plenty more where that came from Comey, you lying traitorous son of a bitch.
Comey calls the memo “misleading”
But does not demand the release of supporting documents.
I wonder why?
Quotes also around this comment for proper attribution. I’m guessing that the two comments were probably from Twitter images.

Comey just is playing the tune others are singing....not to make a big deal of it and it will go away. But then he forgets nobody’s listening to him anyway.
Didn’t Pelosi & Co. hyperventilate about this memo doing fatal harm to the FBI and DOJ? .....never mind.
Message to Monsieur:
The IG Cometh.
So, before it’s released it’s a matter of national security that it not be released.
Now, after it’s released it’s nothing.
Which is it?
Was there more of your malfeasance that was not included in the memo, Mr C?
Now’s the time to come clean.
cOMEY’s memos are still sealed (for now), thanks to a judge.
“Two words: Legal Jeopardy.”
I agree. This guy is an idiot. The same James Comey who signed off on a FISA warrant using the fake dossier and then 2 weeks later shows it to President Trump saying there is nothing to it and why he needs them.
Well Comey you could have told us this with so much drama if you’d liked to.
LOL.
Same attitude as Lerner and Koskinen and Holder.
No you POS. It means you’re corrupt to the core.
