Former FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that former President Donald Trump was an “existential threat” to the country.
He also called the Republican Party a cult.
Cooper asked, “Given the career you have had in the FBI, when you see the former president, now the frontrunner again for the Republican nomination, how big a threat is that?”
Comey said, “A very serious threat to the rule of law, almost an existential threat if he were to become president again. He has tried to take a flamethrower to the FBI, to the Department of Justice to stop them investigating.”
Cooper said, “You believe Donald Trump is an existential threat to the rule of law?”
Comey said, “I do, yes. Were he to become president again, I don’t think America has ever seen and is ready for what he would try and do to the system of justice.”
Cooper said, “The Justice Department has sent a very strong message about what happened on January 6 with their prosecutions, their investigations and prosecutions of some of those responsible. When you hear the former president talking about pardoning, you hear Ron DeSantis talking about looking at pardons, what do you think?”
Comey said, “It’s disgusting. It’s an attack on the rule of law. If anything in this country people should be able to agree on, we should send a message, never again. You can’t intervene by force. You can protest, you can march, you can do what you want, but don’t you dare. That’s the message that has to be sent with those prosecutions. And the idea of undercutting that message makes no sense at all.”

Comey is a liar period!
Just zero line their existence. Large corporations shut down badly functioning divisions every month. They know "fixing them" is a wasted effort.
Demonstrate for Mr. Comey just what an existential demise looks like.
The folks running our government agencies find themselves with the false premise that conducting "Counterintelligence operations " against Americans inside our lands is an acceptable tactic. That also has been done by the FIB against our judges and courts without consequences.
When the CIA was toppling regimes in the lands of our foreign enemies, lying, cheating, propaganda, election rigging, espionage, was approved as a method of promoting American interests. It was never supposed to be going on inside America at our school board meetings or in elections.
Party of Covid, too
It is NOT the FBI’s job to target Americans even if they don’t agree with them.
This applies to ALL Americans.
Mmmmmmm.......I thought Comey was a bi-partisan Republican. what a weasel.
Comey needs to be arrested, tried, and summarily executed for treason.
Imagine. This guy was director of the FBI. If the current denizens of federal law enforcement are political hacks like him, it explains how we got into our current predicament quite nicely.
A corrupt government official and a degenerate sodomite walk into a bar to lecture the patrons about morality. Yeah, OK, whatever. /spit
Existential threat=permission to steal elections.
The fbi shouldn’t exist at all .
I think if the Dems and the swamp creatures DO put Trump in prison, they’ll just make him a martyr for the conservative cause.
And Comey is a filthy worthless piece of human debris. Who cares what he says.
If true justice were served in the USA today, buying stock in good rope would be a sure bet.
Declare this asshole an Enemy Combatant and lock him up in GITMO then SEIZE ALL ASSETS and leave his family Homeless.
When I read that I wondered if he wasn’t actually afraid to try and finish his sentence.
That last part - “don’t you dare” - WHAT YOU CORNEY CLOWN!
We have a Gitmo sentence waiting for you, that you can certainly complete.
Who? Comey or Trump? They both should be in jail. Trump for what he did with the scamdemic. Putting Fauci in charge and letting the drug companies go scott free for their poison jab that Trump claims saved lives. No one was saved by the clot shot.
Says the guy photographed with his Biden coffee cup on election day of 20.
