James Comey: John Kelly Called Trump ‘Dishonorable’ For Firing Me
MSN News ^ | 04/12/2018 | Lachlan Markay

Within minutes of his firing in May, former FBI director James Comey received a call from John Kelly, then the head of the Department of Homeland Security and now the White House chief of staff.

According to Comey’s account, which is set to appear in his highly-anticipated forthcoming memoir, Kelly was “emotional” over the manner in which Comey was let go. The then-FBI Director had reportedly been in California at the time, speaking to FBI agents in Los Angeles, and only found out that he was out of a job when he saw the news break on TV.

Kelly, Comey recalls, said he was “sick” about the situation and “intended to quit” in protest. Kelly “said he didn’t want to work for dishonorable people,” referring specifically to President Donald Trump, who appeared to be upset at the FBI’s persistent investigation into his campaign’s possible collusion with Russian officials.

A senior White House official disputed Comey’s characterization of the phone call with Kelly, saying that Kelly has maintained that the call was brief—roughly a minute long—and that the gist was, “I don't know why you got fired, [and] best of luck to you,” according to the official. The version of this story that Kelly has told other senior staffers clashes markedly with Comey’s, the official noted, and does not include Kelly calling President Trump “dishonorable.”

Comey perjured himself in testimony before Congress. He lied repeatedly about the Clinton investigation.

It should be no surprise that Comey is lying again.

You know what they say about Sticks & Stones.
Meanwhile, General Kelly is still onboard.

Isn’t Comey the guy who let Hillary get away with high crimes?

“For firing” isn’t it, it was about the manner of the firing, if it really happened that is. Headline twisting, as usual.

I don’t believe a single word comey has to say.

Nobody else should either.

This fraud against Trump and us has gone far enough. Far too far.

I’m pretty sure there is a picture of Comey next to “Messiah Complex” in most Psychology textbooks....

Troll bait to manipulate Trump into tweeting something stupid. It’s organized trolling.

Don’t reply, Trump.

This will be a true test, if Kelly responds.

Yep. A tweet from the Donald is another ten thousand of Comey's cheesy books sold.

I’m wondering if someone on their team is going to decide that Comey is a dangerous blabbermouth prone to fantasy and self-aggrandizement.

Did you know Comey has a book he’s currently hawking? /s

Seriously, I say everything Comey does or says in the next six months, minimum, will be about his book. Period.

Your description sounds a lot like McCabe.
He seems to be the true ‘wing-nut zealot/ loose cannon’ of the three characters, Comey, McCabe and Mueller.
I could be wrong. Time will tell.

This is exactly equivalent to Jr. High School: Do you know what so-and-so said about you in the lunch room today?!!

That Comey is engaging in it proves once again the shallowness, deviousness, phoniness, and often real immaturity of people who claim to be our elites and rulers.
