Comey blasts Trump's FBI claims: 'How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?'
The Hill ^ | 05/23/18 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 05/23/2018 7:43:18 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former FBI director James Comey on Wednesday slammed President Trump's recent claims about the FBI, accusing him of “lying” about the bureau's work.

Comey’s tweets comes as Trump has intensified his attacks on the agency in recent days, claiming without evidence that the FBI placed an informant within his campaign for political purposes.

"Facts matter. The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?"

"Dangerous time when our country is led by those who will lie about anything, backed by those who will believe anything, based on information from media sources that will say anything. Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth."

“claiming without evidence”

This is an odd phrase, but I’ve heard it multiple times when a media outlet has a “pro” Trump tidbit. It is a Main Stream Media indicator that they have colluded in how to report a story in the most negative way. He was a walkin, he was an informant...all the other nonsense. Was he an undercover paid provacateur from the FBI? Did he actively come with an agenda from the FBI? Was he paid by the FBI? Did this violate the Hatch Act (at the very least)? Did they hide this and try to do parallel construction to make the case? Does Mueller know about any of this either before during or after? Does he have to recuse himself? If he has not started to investigate this aspect, is he in violation and involved in malicious prosecution?

1000x more reasons for the FBI to have spies in the Hillary campaign but that didn’t happen. The Clinton Foundation received 100s of millions of dollars from Russians. Comey needs to be in jail.

Comey is a dirtbag without an ounce of integrity.

How soon are we going to see claims made that the FBI also planted a “spy” in the Clinton campaign to protect it from Russian spies as well. This will definitely require tons of popcorn to see these folks spin that tall tale!

Mr. Comey I will explain to my grandchildren that there used to be an FBI but a corrupt politician in bed with other corrupt politicians ruined any credibility they had. Thus they were dismantled.

Lot of bull. The FBI dropped at least 2 informant’s names to Whitey Bulger who consequently were murdered by Whitey Bulger. FBI agent James Connolly is serving life in prison.

Yes. Yes they do, to the extent they think of us at all.

Isn’t this ironic?

If Hillary was elected, non of this would ever have come out. I’m sure Comey, Brennen and Clapper are soiling themselves.

-"If that sonofab**ch wins, we're all gonna hang!

- Hillary Clinton, screaming at Donna Brazile backstage after a televised Town Hall event that did not go to script.

Here goes, Jimmy boy:

Once upon a time, there was this monster who thought he was the baddest man on the planet. That is, until he ran into Donald the monster tamer. The monster fumed and roared and hurled lies at Donald, but Donald held firm. Eventually, Donald wore him down. The monster was captured and placed in a deep, dark dungeon. And the people rejoiced at the monster’s demise.

The End
