James Comey blasts AG Barr, accuses him of ‘sliming his own department’
Fox News ^ | 18 MAY 2019 | Adam Shaw

Former FBI Director James Comey ripped into Attorney General William Barr on Friday, accusing him of “sliming his own department” after Barr said that government power was used “to spy on American citizens.”

“The AG should stop sliming his own Department,” Comey tweeted. “If there are bad facts, show us, or search for them professionally and then tell us what you found.”

“An AG must act like the leader of the Department of Justice, an organization based on truth,” he said. “Donald Trump has enough spokespeople.”

Comey did not specify what comments he was reacting to, but the tweet came after Barr gave interviews to Fox News and The Wall Street Journal about the investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, that he has tapped U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead.

Barr told Fox News that the investigation will cover the time period between Election Day and Inauguration Day, and he told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer that “some very strange developments” took place during that period.

Barr said the country must know “exactly what happened” with counterintelligence activities conducted during the 2016 election -- and he is determined to get to the bottom of the case.

“The first step is to find out exactly what happened, and we're trying to get our arms around that, getting all the relevant information from the various agencies and starting to talk to some of the people that have information,” Barr told Hemmer.

You have the right to remain silent, Jimmy, and it might be prudent for you to do so.

Unless, of course, you know it's too late for that.

I think Comey did a good job of that to the FBI under his leadership.

How many direct subordinates of his resigned, quit, or were fired?

That is fear talking.

Hope they have put a restriction his travel. He is facing some very serious charges. He may think running is his best bet.

Says the prick who destroyed the FBI’s reputation for at least a generation. Go ahead Jimmy, piss Barr off even more than he already is.

Comey is a straight up bitter hard core leftist. And he desperately needs a Democrat in office to hide his crimes.

Barr has simply said it needs to be investigated. He has slimed no one.

Leftist? Comey is Uniparty. All the way. Paul Ryan says said exactly similar about POTUS.

Comey is publicly attacking the Attorney General who is leading an inquiry in Comey’s conduct?

Sounds like obstruction of justice to me.

I once overheard a guy in a bar saying he was once dining in the Russian Tea Room and heard a very reliable source at the next table say that Comey and Putin once peed on a bed Ronald Reagan slept in.

I think we need a FISA warrant on Comey.

Why did Comey employ a whole cadre of creeps like Stzrok, Page, Ohr, Mccabe and so on. They were holding meetings on political “insurance policies”against the president and James C was nowhere to be found?
