Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy said the country's top cops handled their role in the 2016 presidential elections "pretty poorly" and says former FBI directors should keep their opinions on current investigations to themselves.
"There's a lot that went on here that's very disturbing," McCarthy said on "Fox & Friends."
"The bureau was thrust into the politics of the 2016 election whether they wanted to be or not because of the Hillary Clinton investigation, (which) was a criminal investigation that was going on right in the middle of the campaigns so there was no avoiding it.
"The question is, given that they were dealt a bad hand, how did they play it? I think they played it pretty poorly."
McCarthy, a Fox News contributor, also called out former FBI Director James Comey for slamming Trump every chance he gets and said it's reckless for Comey to "suggest that because he was the director of the FBI that he has special knowledge" of what happens inside the doors now.

uhmm.... It seems like valid criticism of Comey to me, but doesn’t commenting on politics then and now make McCarthy kind of a hypocrite?
said it’s reckless for Comey to “suggest that because he was the director of the FBI that he has special knowledge” of what happens inside the doors now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of Obama drones still infest the DOJ and FBI.
Comey probably knows as much as the President, maybe more, of what happens inside the doors now.
Obama was never eligible.
It all flows from Usurpation Day.
He doesn’t pretend he has inside information, so the answer to your question is no.
Soon...
Hmmmm... Didn't you get the memo, Andy? It was a 'matter'...
“Obama was never eligible.”
Always remember that MANY #neverTrump Hussein Head Cruzbots here were and are quite willing to believe horseclinton the Fraud excretes, and would have been HAPPY to carry out BJ’s wife’s agenda against America.
Hi.
Methinks Comey is weaving the rope to hang himself.

yep

Wow, Andy still has his head up his butt. Dealt a bad hand? They were in on it from the start. Exonerate Hillary, frame Trump.
He's not working there, and not commenting on an ongoing case or investigation that he was involved with. Does that help?
[Dealt a bad hand? They were in on it from the start. Exonerate Hillary, frame Trump.]
Exactly what I was thinking
As far as I know, McCarthy never assumed the duties and privileges of the Attorney General, made up the new requirement of “Intent” to reveal classified data, nor started an illegal investigation of an opposing party’s presidential nominee, using a fake document and not telling the court it was fake, in order to wiretap and spy in that same illegal investigation.
But then again, I’m not a lawyer.
I sure hope you're right.
Clinton is not president and won’t be...Soros is shrinking, imho, where is Comey’s cover? Moochelle will run but won’t win...no cover...where does he hide? I figure the left will start Arkaniciding themselves soon.

They all knew. They all cooperated.
That - and Original Sin, and the corrupting power of Power - is why I do not believe in White Hats. A few Gray Hats amid a sea of Black Hats, yes.
Comey is doing everything he can to poison any potential jury from finding him guilty as hell....
