After testifying before Congress Monday afternoon, former FBI director James Comey said Donald Trump and Fox News were to blame for damaging the FBI’s reputation, not him.
When Fox News’s Catherine Herridge asked Comey if he had anything to do with the FBI’s plummeting reputation, the former FBI director said “no.”
“The FBI’s reputation has taken a big hit, because the president of the United States, with his acolytes, has lied about it constantly,” he said. “And in the face of those lies, a whole lot of good people who watch your network believe that nonsense. That’s a tragedy. That will be undone eventually, but that damage has nothing to do with me.”
He also decried Republican congressmen whose constituents watch Fox News, saying their coverage of his actions are to blame for the FBI’s downward trajectory in the minds of Americans.
"Republicans used to understand that the actions of a president matter, the words of a president matter, the rule of law matters and the truth matters. Where are those Republicans today?"
“At some point someone has to stand up and in the face of fear of Fox News, fear of their base, fear of mean tweets stand up for the values of this country and not slink away into retirement.”
As Grabien’s Tom Elliot pointed out, Comey has been implicated in at least 36 scandals throughout his career, which included his tenure as head of the FBI. Comey was questioned Monday about his handling of the investigations into Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton before the House judiciary and oversight committees.
Poster Comment:
The difference between James Comey and President Trump is "The Consent of the Governed". James Comey was an employee of the federal government, President Trump was elected by We the People.
Unbelievable how people can see this guy as anything but a corrupted dangerous power hungry buffoon. Comey and his FBI administration buddies should be indicted along with those in the Obama admin who thought leaking confidential info was okay as long as they did it, but if someone else did the same with info they didn't like deserved prison.

Dip-Shit Donnie is a career criminal, degenerate, lying sack-of-shit, tax cheat, who conspired with a hostile foreign power against the US......and is terrified to testify or even answer in-person before the OSC or congress.....and is under investigation by the FBI, and the SDNY (so far)
and
James Comey is an Attorney, a US Attorney,Deputy Attorney General, former director of the FBI, who has testified under oath before the house and senate, and would still be the Director of the FBI were it not for the paranoid actions of an unstable Toad.

Once the criminal occupant of the White House is brought to justice, the FBI will be exonerated.

Either you post this simple-minded drivel as satire, or you are just another deranged homosexual, leftist weirdo.

Not even going to try to refute huh?
Because you know this is the truth.
I understand how much it must hurt, finding out that the one you idolize is such a worthless piece of human garbage.
I feel sorry for you.

Homosexuals have become so malodorous, vicious and utterly worthless to humanity that I don't feel sorry for you.
