Former FBI Director James Comey shared a quote from former President Franklin D. Roosevelt about judging one by the enemies they make after President Trump issued his latest round of attacks aimed at Comey on Saturday.
"I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made," Comey tweeted, quoting the former president.
His tweet came hours after the president renewed his criticism of the former FBI director with a series of tweets and a White House statement blasting the nation's former agency chief.
Trump's latest criticism followed a late Friday report from The New York Times detailing how the agency launched an investigation into whether Trump was acting on the direction of Russia after firing Comey in 2017.
After ousting Comey from the FBI, Trump told NBC News at the time that the decision was made due to Comey's handling of the Russia investigation. The Times reports that the decision and Trump's subsequent explanation so alarmed FBI agents that a probe was immediately launched focusing on the president himself.
"Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin’ James Comey, a total sleaze!" Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
Subsequent tweets from the president attacked Comey's character, referring to the former FBI chief as a "crooked cop" who Trump argued had overstepped his authority at the Justice Department.
"My firing of James Comey was a great day for America. He was a Crooked Cop who is being totally protected by his best friend, Bob Mueller, & the 13 Angry Democrats," Trump added Saturday.
Comey has remained a vocal critic of the president since his ouster, and frequently attacked the president last year during a media tour surrounding the release of his memoir, "A Higher Loyalty," which in part detailed his time in the Trump and Obama administrations.
“He did everything he could to save Hillary. “
Amen, with such a bad hand to play, he did the best he could. He also saved Loretta “Secret Runway Meeting” Lynch, BJ Clinton and oBozo too.
In light of the EU becoming the single biggest supplier of funds to the UNRWA in particular after the US and Israel left (even before their formal departure), that process is certainly in motion.
That quote by Roosevelt could have been about Hitler and Mussillini. I love every one of Comey’s enemies and despise those who love him
Can’t get more explicit than that. Never mind the Sumerian religious symbolism, from which Europa and Zeus as a bull was derived.
Yep - it’s coming true, as it should.
God’s prophetic Word will not fail.
Why Trump would ever consent to do an interview with a leftist media outlet like NBC after he already knew about the surveillance is beyond me.
POTUS is not your enemy Comey, he was your boss who took a very similar oath that you did, but you didn’t uphold your promise.
That boy, he ain't right in the head.
I'm your enemy, Comey, you scumbag.
That puts you just below child molesters in the scheme of things.
The happy part is that we will be able to pay our respects at his grave with a used 12-pack of beers and a used bag of burritos.
The good news is that he’s tall, so the Deplorables won’t need as much rope...
I judge Jimmy by the company he keeps.
I’d prefer to judge you by the enemies you’ve earned.
By great-grandfather hated FDR’s guts.
My great-grandfather hated FDR’s guts.
